Dick Baumgartner's Basketball Shooting CampWhere Great Shooters Are Made Not Born. |
"In 1984 I worked my first of 8 consecutive basketball shooting camps. At that time, I was primarily interested in coaching football. Basketball and track was secondary so I mainly went to other type camps to improve my knowledge of basic fundamentals.
However, as my 2 sons entered Junior High School, it was obvious that their passion was basketball. Therefore, I found myself involved in my first basketball camp. Little did I know that this decision would save our family $125,000 to $150,000.
Both of our sons attended Dick`s camps for 5 years in a row. Both of them were given the basic mechanics to improve their shooting skills, dribbling skills, and other offensive fundamentals. I am convinced that learning these things and practiciing them earned them both Div. 1 Basketball Scholarships. Dick Baumgartner has designed a camp based on relentless study of the proper way to practice and develop tremendous offensive skills. No other coach or camp in our nation has devoted the time, knowledge, and continuing study of these skills as has Dick Baumgartner.
The story does not end here. I am now retired and I was asked to take some youngsters from West Central, Illinois to Dick`s camp in the summer of 2005 ( It had been 14 years since I had been to his basketball shooting camp). Dick Baumgartner is still studying and importing this knowledge to hundreds and hundreds of players. I know why it is the number one attended basketball shooting camp in the country because I have been there and know what is given to each player who attends ( male or female).
He strives to improve his teaching methods each year. He does not rest on his laurels. Again, he gives the best instruction available anywhere. I am convinced that any Grade School, Junior High, or High School player, male or female wishing to shoot better and develop their other offensive skills should attend this camp. This last summer of 2005, I watched at camp players develop at a tremendous pace when they followed the techniques and drills given at camp. If they go home and correctly practice what was given at camp they have to become much better players."
