Welcome to the Ralph Sampson Basketball School, a comprehensive, intensive approach to teaching kids the game they love. Over the past 25 years, the Sampson School has educated over 25,000 kids nationwide, including high school standouts, college All-Americans, and even NBA players. The goal of the Sampson School is simple: to bring out the very best in kids, both on and off the court.
The Sampson School runs year round and offers full-time and part-time sessions. All programs emphasize fundamental skills, including shooting, passing, dribbling, rebounding and defense, as well as basics of nutrition, conditioning and strength training. Furthermore, by using Sampson’s trademark MAP (Motivation, Attitude, Plan for Success) Program, coaches will instill in every young person a sense of confidence, teamwork and mental toughness. Players will learn how to MAP their own way to success, thereby becoming winners in basketball and life.
