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 even build their own mini basketball hoop! This special STEM session on September 6th 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 learn about the design and structure of basketball hoops, exploring how materials and stability play a key role in the game. They will engage in building their own basketball hoop models using everyday materials like straws, clay, and string, applying engineering concepts like balance and structural integrity. This activity will help them understand how thoughtful design and innovation are essential in creating the tools used for their sport, while encouraging creativity and problem-solving skills.

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

Campers will kick off their STEM journey by learning how angles and force affect the trajectory of a basketball shot. Through engaging activities, they’ll explore the science behind shooting and understand the relationship between the angle of the shot and its accuracy.

SEP 2

Introduction to Basketball Physics

On Day 2, campers will put their learning into action by using mini basketball hoops and protractors to experiment with different shot angles. They will measure and adjust the angles to see how force impacts the ball’s flight path, enhancing their understanding of basketball physics.

SEP 3

Basketball Analytics

Campers will dive into the world of basketball statistics, learning about shooting percentages and player efficiency. They’ll practice recording and analyzing shooting data to understand how numbers help improve performance on the court.

sep 4

Engineering a Basketball Hoop

This day will focus on the design and stability of basketball hoops. Campers will use materials like straws and clay to build their own simple models, applying basic engineering concepts to create sturdy and functional hoops.

sep 5

STEM Showcase

Campers will present their projects and discuss how STEM plays a key role in basketball. Stations will be set up for each camper to demonstrate their hands-on work and share the science behind their creations.

SEP 6

The Science of Shooting

This interactive session will focus on the physics behind shooting techniques. Campers will practice shooting while applying the principles they’ve learned, improving their form with a scientific understanding of ball trajectory.
