CAMP DIRECTORS FOR 2010: John and Alex Carlson, Litchfield, MN
John Carlson is the head boys' coach at Litchfield High School. Alex is his son. Together, they led Litchfield to one of the best seasons in the history of Minnesota basketball when the 2000 Litchfield team went undefeated at 30-0, scoring 75.9 points a game and holding opponents to 42.7 points while winning the Class AA Minnesota State Championship and earning the No. 1 over-all Minnesota ranking. Alex was a Mr. Basketball finalist and a two-time All-Conference player at St. Cloud State University. Litchfield went on to win two more state championships in 2002 and 2003 completing a four-year record of 114-8. The Carlson teams of 2000-2003 were some of the best teams in Minnesota basketball in any class. Pressure defense, fastbreaking, sharp passing, strong ballhandling, accurate shooting and teamwork were the keys.

Camp Program
All players will receive 20-24 hours of championship basketball instruction in three days. The camp will be designed by the Carlsons to share their own secrets of championship basketball with each player. The camp will be a comprehensive program of teaching skills, running drills, and monitoring play in both half court and full court games. Each player will receive a thorough review of their shooting form and a take-home shooting program.
