We have four full size floors at Mt Rainier allowing us to have up to 16 teams.  Team camp is an intense week of full and half court scrimmages, drills, team chalk talks against some very tough competition.  Each day you will work against multiple teams building your man, zone, and special play offenses and defenses.  You will work with your team on transition offenses, press breakers, presses, out of bounds plays, and special situation plays.  One of the great assets of this camp is each coach’s gets to work solely with his/her own team the entire camp.  Another asset is being able to give all your players plenty of time to develop as there is no score kept during the daily scrimmages.  It is a great time for coaches to see what others are doing that you might add to your game plan.

Water is provided through water fountains in each gym.  We recommend each player bring water bottles that can be refilled at each break.  We also recommend that each player bring snacks, and a lunch for those break times.  Each coach is responsible for making sure your players are properly prepared for each day’s camp activity.  Ice will be available for those needing it, however there will be no trainer in the facility during the camp.
