About Excel Basketball Camp
Excel Basketball Camp was founded in 1981 by Coach Frank Allocco, Sr. . Coach Allocco's vision was to create a basketball camp that would teach the fundamentals of basketball to players from "coast to coast." Coach drew upon his experience as a youth coach, high school coach, and collegiate coach to provide a program that would teach the game of basketball and the positive values of Teamwork, Sportsmanship, and Commitment to Excellence both on and off the court. For forty years, Excel has been a cornerstone in the hundreds of thousands of lives motivated and mentored by our passionate staff. The Camp is dedicated to the many coaches who inspired coach to be more, particularly Coach Ara Parseghian and Coach Stu Aberdeen.

The majority of youth and high school basketball players do not take the time to enhance their ball-handling skills. With a focus on games, tournaments, etc., few truly focus on what might be the most important skill in basketball: dribbling. This is an extremely affordable club membership that will provide up to 14 twenty to thirty minute fast-paced, intense workouts for just $40 per month. Click here for more information.
Excel is part of my foundation as a player and as a coach, one of the most influential experiences in my life. The coaches of Excel have been like family to me since I was 10 years old! After working in the NBA for two different teams, it’s never been more evident: Excel is the best basketball Camp in the country, run by the most passionate coaches in the world. With an emphasis on fundamentals and creating habits, Excel gives you the tools to be successful as a basketball player, and as a person.”– Greg St. Jean: Assistant Coach, Los Angeles Lakers
