High School Skills & Conditioning Camp

The High School Skills & Conditioning Camp is designed for males/females gearing up for the fall high school basketball season.  The camp is divided into 2 parts:

Part 1

The Program is designed to build on the athlete's overall fitness level. Each participant will work on a strength and conditioning program.  Major focus will be on core strengthening.  We will also have an intense cardio program which will be specifically designed to raise the athlete's overall fitness level.

Part 2

The Skills program is designed to put all participants through a rigorous on court dailing training session. The intent is to bring back lost skills over the spring/summer layover. Each skills session is followed by a daily scrimmage.

This program is designed for children aged 7 to 13 which are either new to basketball or playing at the recreational level.  The focus of this program is centered on skill acquisition and development. Drills and skills are age specific and are taught in a small group setting. 

Camp Staff

The camp will be directed by Rick Despatie, Head coach of the girls basketball program at St Matthew. The instructional program is being coordinated by Kristen Moyle. Kristen is a former St Matthew All Star and a graduated from the University of Ottawa Basketball team. Kristen has been with our camp since its inception. The camp staff will be complemented by the JV coaches, past players who have gone on to play University and College basketball in both Canada and the U.S.A. The program is especially proud of the fact that it calls on special guest coaches that have an array of experience in player development. On average we have a special guest with us from Tuesday to Friday. The program is co-sponsored by the Ottawa Catholic School Board Continuing Education Department.
