Mike Trader's 39th Annual Mid-America Basketball Camps

2025 Summer Camps
Grand Island Central Catholic • Sidney High School • Norfolk YMCA • Hastings Middle School • Doane University

The aims of the Mike Trader’s Mid-America Basketball School will be to teach and develop individual skills and to have fun. The daily schedule will include league games and contests. Players will be divided into separate leagues according to age. Fundamentals will be stressed. Individual drills and training techniques to develop strength, endurance, quickness and jumping ability will be taught. Each camper will be analyzed with the assistance of individual video and attention given to individual technique/correction. Lectures, demonstrations and competition will be according to age level and ability so each camper will have an opportunity to excel.

One of the outstanding features at Mike Trader’s Mid-America Basketball Camp is that each camper will have their shot digitally recorded and analyzed by a coach during camp.
