Cats Camp

 

 

Coach: Darren Johnson   Darren Johnson  has big dreams for young boys & girls who want to compete in the sport of basketball. Using his advanced coaching style, and working with Cambridge Cats Basketball Club, CATS Camp was created to provide opportunities for Boys & girls to develop their skills and be exposed to the national League and the potential college scholarships. Entering its 2nd year, many campers have taken advantage of the CATS Camp experience, and the tradition continues to grow. The success and longevity of the CATS Camp program relies on a winning combination of individual instruction and team challenges held in a positive learning environment.
For a player to become the best, it is important to learn from the best. With over a quarter century of experience and success, Ronnie Baker former England and GB International will be the first Basketball Star to visit and instruct at the Cambridge camp. 
     Camp Philosophy         The philosophy of the camp is very simple: the whole idea is to ensure that boys and girls aged between 8 and 18 have lots of fun and learn the fundamental skills of basketball.  Campers are put into groups based ability when learning skills and playing games, however there will be a great deal of interaction between the older and younger campers throughout the week, which will helps the older camp members to develop there own coaching skills. Explorer 9 –13 Explorers will discover creativity, sportsmanship, and individuality while learning in a fun and friendly environment.

All Stars 9- 13 Ccampers will develop skills, game strategies and techniques while gaining a general understanding in a variety of 1 v 1 situations. Every day of the week, additional fundamentals are introduced and practiced. The athletes will concentrate on teamwork as the week culminates with "Super Star Friday", and the Tournament of Champions.

NBA 14 -18 Ccampers will focus on progressive instruction through the week. Skill development is closely monitored through a low camper to coach ratio.

Campers enjoy daily games under close supervision, putting moves into action as they are learned. The week concludes with spirited competitions where all the practice pays off as campers get to show off their newly refined skills on the court
