Our camp is open to boys and girls ages 5–13, grouped by age and skill level. Whether your child has never touched a basketball or has been playing for years, there is a place for them at CM Basketball Camp.
Not at all! We welcome players of all skill levels — from complete beginners to advanced athletes. Training is tailored to each camper's skill level so everyone improves at the right pace.
Please make sure your athlete arrives prepared with the following each day:
Lunch is not provided at camp. Campers should bring a packed lunch, snack, and water bottle every day. Please plan accordingly to ensure your athlete has enough energy for a full day of training and games.
Our standard camp day runs from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Early drop-off is available starting at 8:00 AM for families that need it.
📍 Location: Wayside Baptist Church · 7701 SW 98 ST · Miami, FL 33156
We maintain a low coach-to-camper ratio of approximately 1 coach per 10 campers to ensure every athlete receives individual attention, proper instruction, and a safe environment throughout the day.
Parents are not allowed to stay during camp sessions. This policy helps campers focus, build independence, and get the most out of their training experience without distraction.
Children are signed in and signed out daily by a coach, so you can drop off and pick up with peace of mind knowing your athlete is accounted for at all times.
