Pacesetter Basketball will be offering two Shooting Camps in 2008. Each program will be an extensive 24-hour, 3-day teaching camp designed to help each player make improvements in his/her shooting technique. A variety of shots will be taught along with special moves to get open for these shots in game situations. The focus will be on learning technique first, practicing repetitions second, and creating shots in game situations third. Players will also play half-court and full-court games as a feature of this comprehensive program. A number of contests and challenges will also be added to keep the camp lively and fun.

Coaching Staff
The 2007 camp was conducted by Barry Wohler, head coach at Hamline University, who was a high school state champion at Bird Island-Lake Lillian in 1980 and 1981 and a member of the Minnesota Gopher Big Ten Champions in 1982.  Jeff McCarron, Pacesetter Director, and a shooting clinician since 1976, conducted the 2006 shooting camp.  McCarron was a member of a high school state champion at Sherburn in 1970 and a member of the Minnesota Gopher Big Ten Champions in 1972. Coach McCarron will be conducting the June camp, and Coach Wohler or another top clinician will be conducting the July camp.
