The goal of the Dereck Whittenburg Basketball Camp is to teach the fundamentals of basketball in an environment that promotes positive attitudes and sportsmanship. We focus on respect; teamwork and effort, which we feel, are important ingredients in achieving success both on and off the court.
Our camp is directed and planned by Coach Whittenburg and the assistant camp director. Our staff consists of skilled present/past college players and coaches. They work with campers individually to address his/her needs helping to build good character and confidence while improving their basketball skills.
Coach Whittenburg and his staff are teachers and motivators who take great pride in bringing energy, fun and excitement into their teaching environment. This camp offers versatile techniques to fulfill the needs of girls and boys who have and interest and/or talent in basketball.
