Championship Team Program
John and Alex Carlson will help players learn the secrets of championship team basketball in a 3-day intensive basketball program featuring 20-24 hours of coaching. The Carlson teams of 2000-2003 were some of the best teams in Minnesota basketball history in any class. Pressure defense, fastbreaking, sharp passing, strong ballhandling, accurate shooting...and teamwork were the keys. Youth teams and individual players are invited to attend this special “team emphasis” camp.  Players will learn championship team skill fundamentals in all areas of play and learn how to play a variety of team defenses and offenses, plus fastbreaking and pressing strategies. Team coaches may attend the camp as a coaching clinic and coach their own team during games.  All individuals not registering with a team will be placed on teams together.

Registration Information
