Defender Basketball Camp

Entering his fourteenth season as Head Coach of the BBC Defender basketball team, Coach Mike Show has been named the NCCAA II East Region Coach of the Year seven times, NCCAA II National Coach of the Year for 2006, and NEAC Coach of the Year two consecutive years. Under his leadership, the Defenders have been led to seven NCCAA II East Region Championships, placed in the top four at the NCCAA II National Championships three times, placing as National Runner-Up in the 2005–2006 season, and NEAC North Division Champions in 2006-2007.

Team Competition
The competition continues as the afternoon and evening hours are filled with full-court games. Two leagues are used for differing ability levels. Players from the same school with similar abilities will be on the same team. Attending guest coaches will coach their players. We will have an “over-time” night, and Friday will be a tournament play-off day.

Chapel
The most important part of each day is spent together in God’s Word. Guest speakers and coaches will challenge each athlete in his walk with Christ. We want to emphasize the importance of a life that glorifies God through athletics.

Coaching Staff
Our staff consists of current and former members of the BBC Defenders and coaches from attending schools.

Coaching School
Attending coaches MUST pre-register!
Our Coaching School will include both on and off court instruction, as well as discussion and demonstration by Coach Show and other guest speakers. The fee for coaches is $30.00. One coach may attend free for each eight players from the same school. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide facilities for coaches’ families.
