2008 CAL BASKETBALL CAMPS FOR BOYS



Join the experienced and knowledgeable Cal Basketball Coaching Staff this summer at the Cal Basketball Camps for Boys. Camp instruction includes position specific training, fundamental skill development, and drills concentrating on shooting, passing, dribbling, rebounding, and defensive techniques. Game play focuses on overall skill development, incorporating all aspects of the game. Players are grouped according to both age and ability levels, placing players of similar abilities and positions in the same group.

Haas Pavilion, the home of Golden Bear Basketball, will play host to all camp sessions. Campers will have a maximum coach to player ratio so that each camper can get a good amount of individual attention.
