Our Core Sports
At Brant Lake Sports Academy, athletics are at the heart of the camp experience. Campers train across a variety of sports while developing teamwork, confidence, perseverance, and self-discipline in a supportive environment. Girls have the opportunity to focus on a core sport while also being introduced to others, helping them grow as well-rounded, multi-sport athletes.
The program centers around five core sports—basketball, soccer, softball, lacrosse, and volleyball—taught through a combination of skill instruction, drills, and live gameplay led by experienced coaches. In addition to these core sports, campers enjoy tennis, fitness training, lake activities, and a variety of hobbies that round out the day and keep the experience dynamic and fun.
Whether campers are building fundamentals, competing in games, or trying a new activity, the goal is the same: help every girl improve as an athlete while enjoying the friendships and energy of an active summer at camp.

Lacrosse
Receive high-level instruction in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. Players develop defensive techniques, dodging skills, fast-break execution, clears, and man-up/man-down strategies. Position-specific drills help athletes build individual skills, which are then applied to team concepts through live play. Whether through focused skill sessions or full-field scrimmages, clinics are tailored to meet the needs of each camper.
Basketball
Campers receive expert instruction in shooting, dribbling, passing, agility, rebounding, footwork, and other core basketball fundamentals. Through a mix of individual coaching, group instruction, skill stations, and 5-on-5 league games, players develop both their technique and game understanding. Campers are grouped by ability level, and every athlete is encouraged to improve, build confidence, and reach her full potential.


Volleyball
From core fundamentals to advanced team strategies, the BLSA volleyball program develops skills in a fun and supportive environment. Campers take part in a dynamic mix of instruction, drills, and games designed to meet athletes at every level. Whether just starting out or refining advanced techniques, players build confidence, improve their skills, and grow as volleyball athletes.
Soccer
The BLSA soccer program is designed to be both challenging and fun, helping players develop their skills while growing as confident athletes. Campers work on core fundamentals, train hard, and enjoy the camaraderie of teammates while pushing themselves to improve. With a combination of personalized instruction, skill development, and league play, BLSA soccer gives every camper the opportunity to grow, make new friends, and get the most out of her camp experience.


Softball
BLSA’s softball program offers the ideal balance of skill development, sportsmanship, competition, and fun. Campers work on key fundamentals like fielding, hitting, and game strategy while developing both individually and as part of a team. Through position-specific training and scrimmages, players build confidence, improve their skills, and enjoy the excitement of the game.
