Basketball Camp ages 9-11 and 12-15.

The director of logistics at Echo Ranch, Rick Shaner, spent 10 years as a high school boys basketball coach in northwestern Ohio.

Coach Shaner started our basketball program back in 2004 wanting to share his love for the game with the youth of Southeast. The Echo Ranch field house has six basketball nets on an oversized court that allows room for small group activities.

An overwhelming theme for basketball camp is teamwork. The players will learn about team concepts and working together in the gym. Outside of the gym we take the players through our camp initiatives or better known as the challenge course. This also our coaches a glimpse at possible leaders and how to motivate them to set a positive example for the other players.

Campers who attend basketball camp will also have free time similar to that of soccer camp. Echo Ranch activities like the trading post and the zip line (if they’re over the age of 10) will be open during the day. In the evening, 3 on 3 and 5 on 5 tournaments take place until bedtime. When it comes to the intensity level of basketball camp it all depends on the players and what they bring to the table. If the coaches see they are dealing with some advanced athletes then they can turn things up a notch. But if there are players who require work on the fundamentals they will be given the attention needed. Campers receive a basketball camp T-shirt, participation medal, and awards for outstanding performance.

There are two sesssions of basketball camp for the week. One for the younger 9-11 year old players and one for ages 12-15.
