We will plan to run a modified day camp the week of July 20-24( Mon-Thurs) at the
Commons courts. Since we will not have access to any indoor back-up courts, Friday July 25 will be retained as a rain date.
- There will be two sessions each morning, 8-10 am and 10:30-12:30. Maximum capacity for each session will be 50 campers. Campers can sign up for both sessions if they wish.
- Camp will focus on individual skill development while maintaining social distancing and no direct contact. There will be no games or scrimmages per NYS guidelines.
Camp safety policy:
Parents may drop off their children 15 min before each session. Campers may not leave their vehicle until a camp staff member has completed the health question screening process( NYS provided questions) and a temperature check has been completed. Upon leaving their vehicle all campers must be wearing a mask and will be directed to the appropriate court. Campers should bring their own water to camp each day. We will have limited bottled water in case a camper forgets their water. Campers can not share their water. Koubek camp staff will maintain a log of all daily screening confirmations for every camper and report any exceptions as required.
There will be six campers assigned to each basket and we will use the half court to maintain proper distancing between campers. Campers will be assigned to the same basket for the entire week’s session and will not move from that court. This will reduce possible contact with other campers and assist in maintaining distancing. If a camper must leave the court to go to the bathroom or for any other reason, they will be required to wear their mask. Campers will not be required to wear masks while completing their workouts.
Camp drills will focus on individual development and will include shooting, stationary and movement ball handling drills as well as defensive footwork. The design will provide skills the camper can take home and practice throughout the summer to improve their personal skill set.
All Camp staff will wear masks prior to the start of the session and after the session. Coaches when instructing the campers will wear a mask if they are within six feet of any camper. Hand sanitizer will be provided at each court and campers will be required to sanitize their hands at each 1/2 hour water break.

I started attending Koubek camps when I was 13 years old and it helped mold me into the person I am today. I learned what sportsmanship was, how hard work pays off and what it takes to be a team player. Now 22 years later I am lucky enough to be able to send my daughter back to the place that taught me these very same things. Greg Koubek was someone I looked up to as a teenager and I remember sitting at Day Camp and Overnight Camp listening to him talk to the large group of campers about his experiences and providing advice that we could use not only on the basketball court but in our everyday lives. This summer I was thrilled to see Greg Koubek still present at his camps, on the court working on skills with each camper and this time providing that same advice to my 5 year old daughter.

Koubek Basketball Camp is something we both look forward to every year.
It is a week full of great times, on the court and off. Every year we arrive at camp knowing a few friends, but leave having made many more. The basketball aspect of camp is very good too. Every year the camp has a great staff of coaches that work with us on our games and show us what to do to get better. And every year there is more and more great players to play with and against. Koubek is a must-do and a great time.

Greg runs his camps the same way he played for me at Duke -- with passion and integrity. At Greg Koubek's camp you will have a great basketball experience.

The last two summers have been a great basketball camp experience for my children and myself. I cannot say enough about the Koubek Basketball Camp It has become the highlight of my children’s summer. They count down the days until camp starts. My kids have attended many basketball camps. This is by far their best. It is a great mix of basketball skills and summer fun. The kids look forward to the basketball and the camp games they play. My children have always loved their Koubek counselors and coaches. They have encouraged and pushed my children. When my daughter arrived at camp this summer, a counselor mentioned that he had followed her box scores for the high school season and commented on her season. At the end of the camp, a counselor told my daughter that if she needs recommendation or advice about college to please contact him. According to my daughter "The Koubek camp is a great experience to meet new people and to play basketball." According to my son "The Koubek camp is the best time of the summer"
