Testimonials from Two of the Best

Below are two testimonials about the Dick Baumgartner`s Basketball Shooting Camp from two coaches of highly respected girl`s basketball programs in Illinois and Arkansas. They are considered to be two of the best in the country.

Coach Tanya Johnson
Tanya Johson was inducted into the Illinois Coaches Hall of Fame this Spring. She has coached over 500 wins with a 79% won-lost record. The National Federation of high coaches honored her in 1997 and 1998. by naming her National Girls Basketball Coach of the year. Tanya has won many tournament titles including two Illinois State Championships. She has coached several state and national ranked teams.

Below are some quotes from Tanya Johnson about our shooting camp.

"Our program at Loyola Academy continues to average over 20 wins a season for over a 20 year period. I can attribute a great deal of this success to my players attending Dick`s shooting camp. We have been coming to camp for 20 seasons.. Every player in our program at the varsity level has attended Dick`s camp a minimum of one time. In 1997 & 1998 we won the Illinois State Championship. We had 5 players from those teams attend division one schools. Every one of those players attended camp.

There are many camps for players to attend during the summer. Dick Baumartner`s Shooting Camp is the number one camp that I endorse for my players to attend".

Coach Carla Crowder
Coach Crowder is the head girls coach at Cabot High School in Cabot, Arkansas. She has done a tremendous rebuilding job in her two years at Cabot High School. In her two years at Cabot, her teams have won 49 games and lost 6. They won two conference championships the last two years (none before), finished second in Elite Eight in 2005, and were State Finalists in 2004. She has won a lot of awards and tournaments through the years. In 2004 she was honored by the National Federation of high school coaches by naming her National Girls Basketball Coach of the year.

Below are some quotes from coach Carla Crowder about the Dick Baumgartner Basketball Shooting Camp:

"After years of study and putting his ideas to work with thousands of young men and women, Coach Baumgartner brings the latest techniques and drills to you, your staff and players".

"Players are drilled twice daily with these proven shooting techniques. They learn easily from them because they are broken down into understandable language, with clear, concise, demonstrations. Drilling correctly with high repetitions is the tried and true method for teaching that many overlook to different degrees in their efforts to prepare their teams".

"Coaches can get the most for their players by taking them to the Dick Baumgartner shooting camps. After 15 of my players came to camp last summer the light came on for these players and almost twice as many of my players will attend the shooting camp this summer which is held at Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana. If players want to learn to shoot and score better this is the camp which I recommend".

Dick Baumgartner thought the best comment that Coach Crowder made to him was "I wished that I had brought my players to you sooner".

Attend The Camp That Will Help You To Be The Best You Can Be

Dick Baumgartner`s Basketball Shooting Camp is an offensive fundamental camp with the emphasis on teaching shooting. We believe that we provide the best shooting techniques, drills and one-on-one instruction of any shooting camp. We are also second to no one in teaching other offensive fundamentals such as: dribbling, faking, driving, and finishing, etc.. Our offensive techniques will help you to play the shooting guard, point guard, and wing positions better.

Besides the very good instruction and drilling our camp also provides a well rounded program. Players play in 3 games a day, and participate in several contests during the week.

Picking a shooting camp to attend
Players need to realize that if they truly want to become better or great shooters and scorers they need to pick a camp that drills well and gives great one-on-one instruction. There are no short cuts. Drilling with a team, on your own, with an instructor, or at a really qualified offensive fundamental camp is necessary for improvement and excellence. We believe we can help you reach your goals and full potential at our shooting camp.

There are two testimonials which show how well we teach offensive fundamentals. The first is from players who have attended other camps before our shooting camp. They say. "we have learned more at the Dick Baumgartner Basketball Shooting Camp than all the other camps put together". This is the number one comment we get about our shooting camp.

The second testimonial is from basketball coaches who send their sons and daughters to camps. They say, "your camp is our first choice when picking a camp to send our son or daughter". Many coaches send their sons and daughters to our camp to learn shooting and other offensive skills.

One-on-One individual shooting instruction
If a player comes to our camp their parents will not have to worry about their daughter getting individual one-on-one instruction. Dick Baumgartner and six other coaches trained by him are on duty morning, noon, and night for individual instruction. This is what they do at camp. The way the camp is structured to teach shooting is why it provides the best one-on-one instruction. No other camp will provide the quality and amount of one-on-one instruction we provide. Our total staff for each week consists of 34 to 39 people (coaches, managers, trainers, etc.). Each week we have 28 to 32 coaches on our staff.

Increase your range from the free throw line and 3pt line
Girls are strong enough to shoot from the outside and the foul line. If someone is telling you that you are not strong enough to shoot from these distances they would not really understand shooting mechanics. Our drills, techniques, and word usage are so good we will positively help you with your range. We easily help girls in the 5th grade through the 12 grade with their range. For further information please check our section on long range shooting.

Better committment and better teaching
The number of girls showing a high skill level in basketball fundamentals has really increased in the last 10 years. It is believed that young girls and women are now spending the time necessary to shoot the ball well and also do other offensive fundamentals well. With this type of committment added to very good fundamental instruction, girls will continue to get better and better. Our shooting camp provides all that a girl needs to excel in shooting and other offensive fundamentals.

It is also believed that coaches are doing a better job of teaching girls the skills and fundamentals needed for girls to become more fundamentally sound.

Coaches say after they have worked our shooting camp, they are then more able to give the girls the shooting drills and techniques needed for them to shoot better and score better. The coaches also say after working our camp, they feel better qualified to make slight changes when one of their players needs some correction.

Fundamentals are really necessary
In general, girls even more than boys need to execute fundamentals correctly. Boys at times can get away with executing fundamentals incorrectly by compensating with strength. Most girls will not be able to do the same thing.

Developing strength through body position and balance
Another area which is covered real well in our camp is body position and balance. Many individuals say that girls aren`t strong enough to do this skill or that skill. This is not true. With correct techniques and drills to develop correct body position and balance, girls will then be strong enough to do all the fundamental moves that anyone can do. Our techniques and drills will help players to automatically play strong in a natural way.

An experienced basketball shooting instructor
Coach Baumgartner has had the opportunity to work with more girls on their shooting than anyone in the U.S. Each summer he works with and corrects hundreds and hundreds of player`s shots. He has done this in the girl`s shooting camps for the last 28 years and in the boys shooting camp for the last 30 years. With this teaching experience and several in-depth studies on offensive fundamentals, he has developed the best techniques, and drills to teach girls to shoot and score.

Overall experience
We work very hard to structure our shooting camps so players will have a very rewarding and enjoyable experience during the week they spend with us. Besides the drills and one-on-one instruction, the players will have fun playing 3 games a day, participating in several contests and experiencing new friendships with players they play with, drill with, and socialize with.
