Touch Shooting × Nike Basketball Camp

Develop. Compete. Be Seen — the Right Way.

Improve your game and have serious fun at Nike Basketball Camps, powered by Touch Shooting.

Led by Touch Shooting Founder Ryan Sypkens and a staff of former professional players, elite trainers, and high-level coaches, this camp is designed for athletes who want real development and a legitimate opportunity to showcase their growth in a cultivated environment.

This is an exposure-style camp, but with a clear standard:
Playing the right way is required.

Effort, discipline, spacing, decision-making, communication, and team play matter here. Athletes are evaluated not just on talent, but on how they train, compete, and impact the game.

Built on the Touch Shooting Curriculum, these Nike Basketball Camps provide a complete, high-performance development experience that blends skill, basketball IQ, competition, and mindset.
