FITZHUGH BAPTIST CHURCH GYMNASIUM (http://www NULL.fitzhughbaptist NULL.org/contact-suggestions NULL.htm)

Strictly Limited To First 22 Registrations Per Age Group

 Camp Director Chris Corbett is known as Austin’s best shooting coach and has designed this clinic to review scoring fundamentals, discuss in – season shooting tweaks and also to share slump-busting tips and confidence builders.  And tons of reps… getting buckets!

This is not a factory type camp.  We are focused on a strict review and repetition of the fundamentals of great shooting and scoring:

  • The Importance of “Ready on the Catch”

  • Hand Position on The Basketball

  • Being Assertive and Conveying Openness to Teammates (Without Being A Pest)

  • Intuitive System for Determining Whether to Shoot or Not

  • Why Footwork is The Real Key To Shot Preparation

  • The Importance of Legs in Developing Consistency and Extending Range

  • Follow Thru – Taking Ownership of This Critical Skill

  • Takeaway Plan For Your Season

  • Fun- Bring the Fun Back To Shooting

  • Finishing Moves To Get You Confidence on Your Drives

  • Defense That Keeps You On the Floor

  • Free Throws

  • Moving Without The Ball

  • Much More!!

 

There will be contests, music, prizes and The Introduction of Multiple Take Home Drills.  Players should expect to get up hundreds of shots and reinforce fundamentals critical to their shooting success this season.

Most players are not working on their scoring as school practices are typically devoted to conditioning, offensive plays, traps, and schemes.  Be the player who makes the offensive scheme work with scoring skills.  Knock down shots with a level of consistency that inspires your team and coach.

***Normally there are no refunds on camps unless we have doctor’s note at which point credit is issued.   We hold the spot and may or not be able to fill it after you wish to cancel.  However, if you are having Covid like symptoms please do not come to camp and we will issue a credit toward other camps and programs.****

Austin Summer Basketball Camps vs. Austin Select Basketball

Here is a pretty funny video made by Alan Stein who is one of the premier strength and conditioning coaches in the country and his take on the quest to get exposure in summer select basketball.  Select basketball definitely has a place in player development, but more games don’t make a player.  Players are made in the offseason.  Basketball Training focused on learning, repetitions, and hard work is where the improvement develops.  Select Ball is the proving grounds.  If you don’t bring your A game, you won’t get exposure, you will get exposed.

Austin Basketball Camp Decisions

 

 

Consider Quality Austin Summer Basketball Camps

or

Austin Basketball Training

as an alternative to more offensive set practices and and travel time.

Work on your game… then get exposure.

Austin Summer Basketball Camp – Why Mike VandeGarde Is Our Camp Director…

Choosing the Austin Basketball Camp Director

by Chris Corbett

As the director of Austin Youth Basketball I have many roles.  One of the main roles of a leader is to constantly be on the lookout for the best talent available to help Austin Basketball players reach their individual goals.

I met Mike VandeGarde in a community I used to work in and immediately hit it off sharing our love of basketball.  Not long later we had a chance to play together at LifeTime Fitness in South Austin and I was immediately struck by his excellent baskeball footwork, off the chart shot blocking skills, intensity, and work ethic.

I asked him to join me on a team and we did go on to win the Life Time Fitness Championship which was a very competitive basketball league at the time.  Mike referred a few young players to me for training as I was the Supervisor of Training for Basketball at Lifetime.  As our training numbers grew, I needed help and Mike was kind enough to help teach the Austin Basketball Camps at LifeTime Fitness with me.

The next call of duty was the Dripping Springs Youth Sports Academy where we created a curriculum for the 8-12 years olds of Dripping Springs.  Mike still assists with this.

Mike is Austin Youth Basketball’s resident Big Man Clinic professor and helps out when his schedule permits.

Austin Basketball Camp Director Mike VandeGarde and His Home TeamThere are a lot of great basketball resumes out there.  Click here to see Mike’s .  We chose Mike over everyone else because:

  1. Mike is expert and PASSIONATE.
  2. Mike truly cares about the basketball learning experience and has taught at hundreds of basketball camps.
  3. Mike comes prepared and organized.  Players do not stand around when Mike is running basketball camps.  He does not have time for small talk – he is on a mission.
  4. Mike commands attention thru his passion, his expertise, and his presence.
  5. Basically, Mike has a thoroughbred background but has the work ethic of a Clydesdale.
  6. Mike believes in doing smaller camps and in keeping instructor to student ratios low despite the higher costs.  (Our summer basketball camps will have approximately 25 kids per session)
  7. Mike aims for fun at camps.  Learning and Fun are the goals.
