River Falls basketball programs have teamed up with St Croix Central basketball programs and will be co-hosting a weekend of Otter Basketball Camps.  Jason Otter is one of the best basketball trainers in the country and will be making his way to Hammond, WI on the weekend of June 1st and 2nd to provide training opportunities to our programs.  Jason is a very intense trainer and there will be no wasted time during these sessions.  If your son is serious about improving his game Jason will provide the tools necessary to lay the foundation to a summer of improvement.  If this is of interest to your family, I encourage you to talk with your son about taking these tools and applying them throughout the summer as simply attending a session or two of camp will not make a difference.  However, the tools given are a great tool to lay foundations for summer workouts.

These camps are currently only open to River Falls and St Croix Central players but, will be opening up to the public if they do not fill.  If your son is serious about improving his basketball skills, please sign up soon so you do not miss your opportunity to learn from one of the best trainers in the country.

Camps (grade in school for the 19-20 school year)

Each camp builds off of each other.  If this is your first experience with Otter Camps middle school and high school boys should attend the day camp first.  If you wish to do more than one camp this weekend that is doable with the schedule.  The shooting camp is not physically demanding so this can be coupled with the day camp if you so wish.  The progression of the camps would be Day Camp, Shooting Camp, followed by Explosive Guard Camp.  We do not want someone going straight to the Explosive Guard Camp if they haven't done the others first as they will be lost and not get out of the camp what they should.

The Basic Training camp is for beginner level players, 2nd-5th grade.  It’s a great camp for young players.  It is more drill oriented and not as much detail on movement mechanics as the One Day Camp.  Still disciplined and structured, but not quite as intense.  4 Hour Camp, $75 per player.

The One Day Camp is a camp that teaches all of the Efficiency of Movement pieces.  Every camp in our program builds off of this one.  This camp is open to younger serious players (around 5th grade) through 12th grade.  5 Hour Camp, $85 per player.

The Shooting Camp is open to 6th grade and up. This will teach shooting with efficiency and consistency.  Breaking the shot down and building it back up.  This camp is not physically demanding, but a lot of mental focus on the details of the shot.  5 Hour Camp, $150 per player.

The Explosive Guard camp is one of our more advanced camps.  It is recommended that players go through the Day Camp and Shooting Camp before coming into this one.  Ages 7th grade and up.  5 Hour Camp, $150 each.
