The beauty of the Never Too Late Basketball Weekend Camps is that they are all different, that they are all the same. Though we get many repeat players - "hi, I'm Steve from Medford Lakes, NJ and this is my eleventh camp and I just come back every year because I love to play and I have a great time" - most of the players are new and from as many places, really, as there are places; all the states, just about, and enough countries to test your world geography. Friday night's practice, we do not know one another; Sunday morning's, we do. If you think about it, it is just like any good pick-up game you have ever played in. Basketball can show us exactly who we are. I have never seen your face, I may not speak your language, but because of that backdoor bounce pass you just gave me, I am naming my first born after you. Everyone wants to experience, whether it be the first time or the next time, the beauty of playing the game together. And getting to that place, no matter the setting, no matter the players, is the journey we take. Every time. Play Better, Play Forever. The Never Too Late Basketball Weekend Camps.

Lakeside Inn , Lakeside, MI |
$595 |
NTL Lakeside MI Weekend Camp The camp that brought you Arne Duncan, Obama's Sec'y of Education, as one of the assistant coaches in 2000. The camp that brings you Pete Gaudet, Coach K's top assistant at Duke when they won two national championships for the 2009 weekend. The Big Camp by the Big Lake that annually brings lovers of hoops from near and far to the sandy shores of soutwest Michigan. Post moves, videotaped shooting instruction, skills repeated in drills, offenses learned, defenses committed to, roles learned, scrimmages and games contested, play perfected. Plus it's a whole lot of fun. |

The Franciscan Inn , Santa Barbara, CA |
$595/$775 |
NTL Santa Barbara Weekend Camp What do you get yourself into when you come to the NTL camp in Santa Barbara? There is venerable Robertson Gym on the campus of UCSB, right where the Lakers' dynasty of the 80's practiced. We may not be Showtime, but we will run the break, take hundreds and hundreds of jumpers, (then jump in the Jacuzzi), pass and screen away, read the defense, (scan menus at numerous beach-side restaurants), and let the sweet scent of eucalyptus turn all of us into our own version of basketball Magic. |

McMenamin's Grand Lodge, Forest Grove, OR |
$595/$775 |
NTL Portland, OR Weekend Camp If you love basketball, you will love it here. If you love someone who loves basketball, send them or better yet, bring them to Troutdale this year. State of the art gym, vineyard and micro-brewery on the premises. Tall trees, tall coaches. Remember Walton, Mo Lucas, Twardzik, Hollins? If not (or even if so), we will show you exactly what they did to make themselves better, make themselves the best. Highly skilled, no wasted motion, unselfish, intelligent, passionate basketball is what we are after here. |
| October 1-3, 2010 |
Race Brook Lodge, Sheffield, MA |
$595/$775 |
NTL Sheffield, MA Weekend Camp The NTL Weekend Camp in Sheffield, MA, Sep 5-7, 2008 rocked! Players from The Netherlands, Calgary (Alberta, CAN), NY (12), MA (7), WI (4), MD (2), PA, IN, CT, NJ and ME were represented. Coached by Steve Bzomowski (founder of NTL), Pete Gaudet (former head coach at Army and long-time assistant at Duke), Fred Hodson (assistant at Indiana Wesleyan), Adam Pritchard (boys' basketball coach at Belmont HS) and Tay Fisher (last seen downing #3 seed Vanderbilt with a torrent of 3s for Siena College in the 2008 NCAAs), players drilled, practiced skills, met as teams, learned offenses, OB plays, special situation strategies and competed in focused scrimmages over the course of the long weekend. A heavy rain filled the brook and waterfall up the mountain behind our lodge on Saturday, and like the basketball that was taught and practiced, brought a feeling of freshness and new beginning to our basketball experiences. Throw in the post-practice massages and the hearty meals and it's hard to imagine a better weekend! (Limit of 32 players.) |
