FUNDAMENTALS ARE NOT DEAD!

“Excel in Basketball” is a series of instructional camps geared to provide instruction in basketball fundamentals to boys and girls in grades 1-12. In an era of decreasing fundamentals and skills at every level of basketball, we are proud to conduct a camp focusing on the development of basic skills for players of all skill levels.

Back to Basics Basketball Works!!!

My desire to coach blossomed when I played college football and basketball at the University of Notre Dame and had the opportunity to play and learn under the guidance of two coaching legends: Ara Parseghian and “Digger” Phelps.

My diversified coaching experiences include sixteen years of coaching boys and girls of all ages and skill levels at the CYO level. My passion for teaching and emphasis on fundamentals has led to a successful coaching career at the high school level where I have developed 55 college players, 39 at the Division 1 level.

My camp experiences include coaching at the world famous Five Star Basketball Camp where I have worked "side by side" with  some of the coaching legends of the basketball world. I have been a featured clinician and motivational speaker at countless basketball clinics, camps, and business workshops throughout the country. In 2002 I was a featured clinician at the Nike All-Asia Basketball Camp in Beijing, China where I taught skills and fundamentals to the top players throughout the continent of Asia. In 2006 I was the Head Coach at the Michael Jordan All-American Game held in Madison Square Garden in New York City. All of these unique experiences have helped me to create and lead the top teaching day camp on the West Coast.

Our weeklong camps consist of station drills, games, lectures, skill development, 1 on 1, fast break basketball, defense, ballhandling, dribbling, and more. Our specific skill Weekend Camps zero in on the fundamental skills needed for skill mastery. We pledge to continue our emphasis on fundamentals and developing young athletes to be fine players and fine people. Please allow us to play a role in the development of the “stars of tomorrow.”
