Testimonials

Thank you so much for giving Luke & Logan the opportunity to attend your camp this year.  They enjoyed it so much and improved their basketball skills as well.  Thanks you for commitment to building character and for using your gifts and talents to impact our kids and our community for Christ.  You have an amazing ministry and we are so thankful to have been a part of it.  I hope we can be more involved in the future.

Thanks again for working with us.  By the way, I get "accused" of doing P.R. for The Academy!   We are HUGE fans of the organization and what it stands for, I am confident bragging about having my kids participate with such a quality group of people.

I just wanted to say that we have been very impressed with camp this week! Our 8 year old son havs a very serious peanut allergy and we have to be very carefull on events and activites that he can participate in. We contacted the staff prior to camp starting to make sure our son would be safe and to let the staff know about our situation. We were very impressed with the response that we received about our concerns. The staff really went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable leaving our son at camp. And as parents, we couldn't more pleased to have such a positive experience for our son and the quality of a first class staff. Our 8 year old had a great time and is looking forward to attending another camp in the near future.

I also cannot say enough good things about the staff at the Academy, especially coming from such a negative and bordering abusive environment during the winter basketball season. Christian values are evident in the positive encouragement and caring nature of the coaches. This translates to an eagerness in the boys to perform versus a fearfullness to perform or else. Frequently my son would want to skip practice last winter, but this season, he's dressed and asking me if we can go early. We were about to give up on basketball because of the negativity, but decided to give it one more chance with the Academy. I'm glad we kept the door open! Keep up the great work!!"

We used the Dan Dickau Basketball Academy for our preseason basketball workouts.  I was impressed by the organization, professionalism, and ability of Daven Harmeling.  We definitely plan on using them again in the future.

I also wanted to let you know that Carter is having so much fun! As a parent you want your kids to accelerate in something they enjoy. I want you and the guys that are teaching (Daven and Riley) to know you are making a HUGE impact on Carter and that makes Lindsay and I very happy parents. Carter is learning so much and is having fun doing it, he's always smiling. Carter never complains about going no matter what time it is, he always wants to go and Thursday he didn't want to leave. Travis you are doing a great thing with this, please let the guys know they're doing great, and what there doing is great, and it means a lot to one little boy.

I wanted to let you guys know that we are so impressed with everything that is going on.  Daven and Riley have been great, and with our busy schedule, it is nice to know that if we can't schedule Daven, Riley is available and more than qualified.  How lucky you and Dan are to have both of these guys working for you.

You guys did a great job with the shooting clinic.  Your professionalism and organization is what is going to make you successful.  Keep it up!  Thanks.

WOW!  You guys have a very impressive training program. Josh and Jessica enjoyed and talked highly of what they learned from the three of you. They have not talked so highly about other programs or about their team workouts. Your balance of discipline and skills training with fun for this age group is outstanding. I will definitely figure out how to get Josh and Jessica more training time with your program.” - parentJust wanted to share how much Aiden enjoyed his workout last night.  Daven gives great feedback and Cooper is loving learning from him.  We couldn't be more thrilled to be a participant in what the Academy stands for, both in sportsmanship and life.  What a blessing that we stumbled upon the shooting clinic in January. Dan, Daven and all the coaches (Coach Kelly was great with Michael) that are working hard for our children to learn to be the best, from the best.
