Pacesetter Basketball offered two Shooting Camps in 2009. Jeff McCarron directed the Boys' Shooting Camp in 2008, and Pat Dewey and Dan Freidel directed the Girls' Shooting Camp.

Each program was an extensive 24-hour, 3-day teaching camp designed to help each player make improvements in his/her shooting technique. Players were taught by three of the leading shooting coaches in the Midwest, and all players had their shooting techniques reviewed on videotape.

At each camp a variety of shots will be taught along with special moves to get open for these shots in game situations. The focus will be on learning technique first, practicing repetitions second, and creating shots in game situations third. Each player will receive a thorough review of their shooting form and a take-home shooting program.

The 2010 camps will include all offensive skills in half-court and full court situations including one-on-one moves, two-on-two skills, such as give and go, screen and roll, etc., and three-on-three play. Players will also learn full-court ballhandling and fastbreaking skills. Players will play half-court and full-court games as a feature of this comprehensive program. A number of contests and challenges will also be added to keep the camps lively and fun.
