Coaching Staff
Quality and Number Of Professionally Trained Shooting
Instructors
No other shooting camp in the country will provide the quality and number of
one-on-one shooting instructors which we provide each week at our shooting
camps.
The 6 or 7 one-on-one shooting instructors that work each week of camps are
trained by Dick Baumgartner and they are the only coaches who work one-on-one
with the players who attend camp. The one-on-one instruction is their job at
camp and they are on duty morning, noon, and night. The shooting instructors
are part of the permanent staff and most of them are with us all six weeks
of camps.
Experience Of Shooting Instructors
Each one of the shooting instructors have been with the Dick Baumgartner
Shooting Camps for several years. Besides their professional training,
they have had a lot of one-on-one experience so they are really qualified
to work with players on their one-on-one shooting instruction.
For example,
John Corcoran from Princeton H.S., Cinn, Ohio coached for many
years and then retired. He has worked as a shooting instructor at our
shooting camps for 28 years. In that time he has done thousands of player`s
shots. He has done a great job for us in those 28 years. Our other shooting
instructors are also very qualified and do a great job with the players who
attend our shooting camps.
Permanent Staff
- Most of the permanent staff people work each week of the 6 weeks of camps.
- 6 or 7 professionally trained shooting instructors
- Manager
- 2 assistant managers
- Certified Trainer
- Director (Dick Baumgartner)
Drill Station Coaches
Besides our permanent staff we hire 24 to 27 other coaches ( most of them are
high school coaches) each week who help with the station drilling and
refereeing.
Total Staff For Each Week
With the 24 to 27 coaches we hire each week plus the permanent staff, we
have a total staff consisting of 35 to 39 individuals each week. It varies
some with the size of the camp for that week.
No other camp will be set-up like we are to teach basketball shooting and
other offensive fundamentals. Our one-on-one system is different and our
drilling set-up is different. As mentioned in another section on the website,
we use the same procedure for drilling as John Wooden did when he ran his
camps in the summer. With this method we can give the best and most
consistent teaching of any procedure used for drilling.
Welcome Parents and Coaches
We welcome parents and coaches of players to come and observe the shooting
camps. We are very proud of how our shootng camps are run. We like for
parents to see and understand why we get such great results on teaching
shooting and other offensive fundalmentals.
Good Competition And Three Games A Day
Remember, besides great instruction and drilling we provide three games a
day with good competition for all age groups.
