STEM in sports
We’re excited to announce the addition of a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) component to this year’s 2025 Legends Meet the Future Guam Elite Basketball Camp! We’re blending basketball with learning and critical thinking in fun, hands-on STEM activities designed to complement our athletic programming.
In the STEM Week leading up to the event, campers will dive into the physics of shooting, basketball analytics, and begin to learn to read blueprints as well as build their own mini basketball hoop! This special STEM week will allow your child to explore how science and math can enhance their basketball performance while improving their game.
By introducing STEM activities, we’re taking our camp to the next level, allowing campers aged 6-14 to explore how science, technology, engineering, and math intersect with basketball. Through exciting activities such as analyzing basketball statistics, designing simple basketball hoop models, and learning the physics behind ball trajectories, campers will gain valuable insights into both their athletic development and how STEM skills apply to the game.
This unique, educational experience combines physical skills with critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving—all while having fun! Limited availability for STEM activities, so secure your spot today and give your child the opportunity to be part of this exciting new addition to the Guam Elite Basketball Camp experience!
education & athletics
Science
Campers will discover the role science plays in basketball, focusing on how force, angles, and motion influence the trajectory of the ball. They will explore concepts such as gravity, velocity, and friction, learning how these forces come together to affect shooting accuracy and ball control. By experimenting with different shot angles and applying scientific principles, campers will understand how science can help them improve their game and make smarter decisions on the court, giving them a competitive edge.
Engineering
In this hands-on engineering session, campers will be introduced to blueprint reading and model building as they explore the design and structure of basketball hoops. Using practical materials like cardboard, wood dowels, tape, and zip ties, they’ll construct their own functional hoop models, applying core concepts like measurement, balance, load distribution, and structural integrity. This engaging activity blends real-world design skills with teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking.
Math
Math is a key tool for understanding and improving basketball performance. Campers will dive into basketball statistics, learning how to calculate shooting percentages, analyze player efficiency, and track performance over time. They’ll apply math to record and analyze their own shooting data, using numbers to identify areas for improvement. This session emphasizes how math can be used to refine techniques, set goals, and make data-driven decisions to become a better player.
Program schedule
SEP 1
Introduction to Basketball Physics & Blueprint Reading
Campers kick off their STEM experience learning how force, angles, and motion influence a basketball’s trajectory through hands-on ball-toss experiments and trajectory tracking. Younger campers (ages 6-9) will explore court layouts using colorful, simplified diagrams, while older campers (ages 10-14) will interpret technical blueprints with standard symbols and measurements.
SEP 2
Angles in Action & Mini‐Hoop Builds
Building on Day 1, campers explore shot angles through station rotations. Younger campers (ages 6-9) will identify and demonstrate different angle types (right, acute, obtuse) using their bodies and court positioning, while older campers (ages 10-14) will use protractors to measure precise shooting angles. All campers will construct mini hoop models from safe, pre-prepared materials.
SEP 3
Basketball Analytics & Data Visualization
Campers dive into the world of basketball statistics by collecting their own shooting data and discovering patterns in their performance. Younger campers (ages 6-9) will create colorful bar charts and picture graphs, while older campers (ages 10-14) will build more complex visualizations including line graphs and trend analysis. All campers will learn how professional teams use data to improve their game.
sep 4
Engineering a Full‑Scale Hoop Model
Working in mixed-age teams, campers will engineer scale-model hoop structures using pre-cut cardboard, sanded wooden dowels, and professional-grade tape. Teams will test their designs for stability, structural integrity, and ball bounce, learning to iterate and improve their prototypes.
