We want to help motivate campers to become the
best basketball players they can be by emphasizing
hard work and setting high goals for themselves. With
instruction from current and former college
basketball players and highly qualified coaches from
area schools, campers will leave knowing the proper
fundamentals and effort needed to be able to push
them to the next level in order to meet the goals they
set.
Just as important as individual skills are to a player’s
game, being a good teammate is just as important.
Through daily station competitions, team contests,
and five on five games, each camper will be put in
pressure situations that allow them to learn and
demonstrate how a good teammate should act.
“Our coaching staff understands the importance of
being a good individual player, but they also know
that one player can’t do everything be themselves. In
order to be the best player possible you must be the
best teammate possible as well. Promoting teamwork
is something our camp staff does a great job of while
also making sure players are pushing themselves to
be the best player they can be.”
- Jim Horn, KVCC Men’s Basketball Coach
