 Hey, coach welcome back to our channel if you're brand new here make sure and hit that subscribe button So you can stay updated with all the newest videos we have coming out Today we're gonna be talking about how to start a basketball camp I've had so many coaches recently on Instagram who are basketball trainers reach out to me and ask me this question So today I wanted to go into depth on how to do this Even if you're starting from scratch and I'm gonna show you three steps to take make sure Comment below if you have any questions about these three steps, and I'm assuming that you're a basketball coach already This means you've either coach teams. You're a high school coach. You do a you basketball you have some connection already with basketball players basketball families and People influence already in your city, and if that's you pay close attention to these three steps All right, so here's step one if you want to have a successful camp You need to make sure that you have a registration system, and this is the number one problem I know most basketball coaches have when they try to run camps and this is what they normally do they'll have a camp and They allow parents to pay at the camp so they're collecting cash or checks And we know that's not gonna work because you might get a hundred commitments saying hey We want to come and then maybe 10 or 15 actually show up and then out of those 10 or 15 Some might not even pay and that is a fundamental problem that has to be solved from the get-go so instead of doing it that way you need to do everything online and I recommend using the same Payment processing company I use it's called Sam cart and if you go to the link in the description You'll be able to see how you can access that for free for 14 days That's exactly what I use to run all of my own camps I've been using Sam cart for the last four years now, and it works flawlessly So you need to have that in order to run successful camps and clinics now moving on to step two we have to have a well thought-out marketing plan and this all comes down to Organizing and figuring out what is your camp? Is it a skills camp? Is it a camp to learn how to jump higher? Is it a camp to work on confidence? Is it a three-point camp? What is the camp? All right, so be specific. What is it? Who is it for so is it for high school players? Is it for middle school players elementary and the more specific you are then the more specific you can be in Your marketing and that's why you have to have all the nitty-gritty details of who is your camp for and Once that is determined then the marketing it really all just comes down to getting your message in front of Parents who have kids that are within that age group that you want to train Okay, and let's say maybe you don't know anyone who is a high school basketball player Well, what I would do if I was you I would network with every single high school basketball coach in your City and let them know about what you're doing and even if it's a free camp This way you can get more exposure within your business by just networking with all the high school basketball coaches because they Already have access to all the kids. You would ever want to train. Okay, so that's step two marketing You got to market your butt off. You can't just post a fly on Instagram and expect kids to sign up That's not gonna happen. Okay, you need to learn how to write emails You need to learn how to talk to parents over the phone You need to learn, you know, how to really market yourself to separate you From all the other basketball coaches that are in your city. Okay, and lastly, right? We talked about first the registration. We we taught second about the marketing Lastly, you have to create and this is what I always say this in my videos but you have to create a category of one camp and really what that means is Your camp is significantly better than any competitor in your city And we know if you just go on Google go Google today Basketball camps the city that you live on and and you'll see so many different trainers now Who are trying to start basketball camps? They've already have established basketball camps and what you need to do is come out of the gate different You need to be better You need to have a higher quality service than they do and this way when you run your first camp You're going to have repeat customers to every single camp that you do in the future And if you don't have that set up then you're just going to be running these one-off camps and the lifetime customer value of every Single client that you train is only going to be worth like 20 or $30 if you just run one camp All right I'd rather you do this to where you have camps that are set up monthly and maybe you can build a monthly Membership for your camps.
