Why you need to be here this summer.

Nice Dunk!!

This summer in Bolu, Turkey the first annual World’s Best Basketball Camp will take place.  I visited Turkey in February to plan for this event. While I was in Turkey I met closely with Cavit Altunay who will be the head coach of the camp.  Cavit is a very passionate Coach with over 50 years experience coaching. He was once the highest paid coach in Turkey because he could win with far less superior talent. What was his secret?  His secret was teaching his players his style of play which he has developed and refined over his long career. It’s called Modular basketball and you will learn this system in Bolu this summer.

The foundation of playing Modular Basketball is the individual fundamentals he teaches.  This will be the emphasis this summer.  You will learn skills in a unique way which will propel you to become a new player. The key, as most players know, is becoming fundamentally sound. You will not learn the traditional fundamentals here but instead you will learn the New Ball Handling and Dribbling techniques.  Much of basketball is still in the 1950′s when it comes to how the game is played but you will be in the 21st Century after leaving Bolu.

You will learn new techniques for receiving the ball and how to easily evade defenders. You will also improve your shot tremendously in 10 days while at the Camp.  The Coaches we are bringing in addition to Cavit and myself will make sure you improve beyond your expectations.

You must remember that this is a 10 day Camp. Most Camps are only 5 days long. We want you to get results and 10 days of intensive trainings will accomplish that.  By early next week I will be posting a detailed summary of what we will specifically be teaching in Bolu.

When I visited the University where the camp will be held I was very impressed. The University is located about 3 and a half hours by bus from Istanbul. It is clean and modern and there is even a security check point to enter the Campus. Parents can feel confident in the safety of your children. The people are great and the athletic facilities, dining hall and dormitories are all fantastic.

The other thing that is happening this August in Turkey is the World Championships of Basketball. What a great opportunity for a family to travel to beautiful Turkey, play a ton of basketball and then watch the best basketball players in the World compete for Basketball Supremacy.  The cities hosting games include Ankara (about 100 miles from Bolu), Izmir, Istanbul and Kayseri.

You can see there will be many good reasons to visit Turkey this summer whether you are from Germany, Greece, Syria, Lithuania, Spain, Italy, Switzerand, the U.A.E., Canada, The United States or virtually anywhere in the world we want to share our passion and love for the game of Basketball with you.

There is much more to come on this site so please subscribe to our RSS feed or via e-mail and please follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.  See the “Follow Us” section to the right.  I know you are going to love Turkey, it’s people, the friends you will meet, the Basketball instruction and everything about the Camp.  You will one day be able to say that you were part of the revolution in how Basketball is taught and played.

Have a great weekend. Happy Easter.

See you in Bolu this summer!!
