Our History

The Red Auerbach Basketball School for boys was established in 1960. Jerry Volk, who's son would later become the Celtics General Manager under Red, had operated a summer camp in Marshfield, Massachusetts for several years. Red met Jerry at the camp and, with a handshake, the basketball school was born.
In the early days, it was as much a training facility for the Celtics as it was a camp for kids.The camp has evolved from those early years of hot-top courts, 18 kids, rustic cabins and cold showers to 6 world-class indoor courts, a fantastic dining hall and comfortable AIR CONDITIONED dorm living.

This year you can personally hear about these changes from the people that lived them.  Some Celtic Stars that were part of those early years will be in attendance to kick-off our opening day celebration!!

Our Philosophy
We believe that good basketball players are made, not born. We also believe that academics comes before athletics. In fact, anyone bringing a final report card showing Honor Roll status for the academic year will be recognized for this Scholastic achievement during the awards banquet on the final day.

School starts right after registration of the first day. Every player is immediately divided by age and graded by ability, then assigned to teams for equal balance. "Fundamentals" stations are presented daily by our professional coaching staff. Our stations are tough! Clinics and Stations are an important part of the learning process. Every player plays an equal share of every game, and there are four full games every day. Competition is very challenging but having fun is always the object of our efforts.
