Coach: 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.

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.
