Camp

The Red Auerbach Basketball School will be conducted from Sunday July 15th to Friday July 20th, 2012 Registration is between 12:00Noon and 1:00PM and campers should report to the Gym by 1:30PM, ready to play. We will have our welcome, our orientation and expectations as well as our staff introductions. As soon as we finish, parents start their week's vacation and we go to work with our evaluation process for team play.

Camp Store

We will have the camp store in operation featuring some great work-out gear, such as shorts, T-shirts, and sweatshirts! There will be an opportunity to buy refreshments and cold drinks for the necessary evening snacks(we can't get along without a little junk food for energy!) We strongly suggest all campers leave their money in our camp bank as it is safer and easier for you when buying snacks and other things during the day.  Back to Top of the Page

Evaluations

Every player will have an oral review with his coach and will also receive a written evaluation in the mail some time in September. From these evaluation forms, players receive valuable insight as to their strengths and weaknesses. Click HERE to view a sample form. Back to Top of the Page

We End With a Bang!
On Friday, after our Championship games, we enjoy our break -up luncheon.  We present our Team and Individual awards, recognize our scholar athletes and give special recognition to those who have done something special.  This year we will have the pleasure of receiving terrific box lunches and have our awards presentation and lunch in the gym immediately following the final championship. All players are expected to attend and parents are encouraged to attend. We would plan on ending our awards and our luncheon so that we can dismiss all campers by 2:00 to 2:15.
