Dream BIG
We believe that success on the court is not the only measure of achievement. We aim to develop well-rounded individuals who excel not only in basketball but also in life. Through our comprehensive approach, we focus on instilling self-confidence, discipline, and resilience in our players.

At Dream Basketball Camp, we believe in developing not only exceptional basketball players but also outstanding individuals who embody these values in their everyday lives.
HOW WE STARTED
In the summer of 2020, when the uncertainty of Covid cast a shadow over traditional summer camps, community members approached Benny and Joey with the idea of creating a backyard basketball camp for boys entering their freshman year of high school. This initiative was born out of a strong desire to train rigorously and develop into top-tier basketball players.
The inaugural summer camp proved to be nothing short of magical, filled with hard work, fun, laughter, and unprecedented growth. This heartening experience set the stage for an even more rewarding and successful follow-up in the summer of 2021.
Following the remarkable response and progress, Benny and Joey recognized the profound impact they were making on these young athletes. Their collective vision and passion led to the birth of Dream Basketball Camp, an endeavor aimed at providing unparalleled training experiences to aspiring players within the local Brooklyn community. Starting with the best players from the 8th and 10th grades, Dream Basketball Camp has since expanded its reach, blossoming into a transformative force for young athletes seeking to elevate their game.
