I want to share my expertise, insights and encourage YOU to surpass ordinary efforts and be inspired to discover the extraordinary within yourself!

I have been extremely blessed to work at every level of athletics including the professional ranks at the WNBA in New York City. I look forward to seeing you at one of our camps and challenge you to take your hoop game up a notch. Check back monthly for applicable tips and sound advice geared to bring PURE impact, integrity, insight and inspiration to your game and life.

NBC Girls' elite basketball camp is located in Spokane, Washington on the campus of Whitworth University. This camp is specifically designed for great competition. Camp is six days. Five days of the camp will run in conjunction with NBC Team Camp. The elite camp will offer athletes the ability to compete against high level high school teams.
Unlike our Complete Skills Camps, the elite instructional model focuses on specific positions (point guard, post, power forward and guard/wing). Teaching is faster-paced, more advanced, and incorporates more live-action, competitive drills. Afternoons will be spent playing tournaments and games. Camp will start Sunday and end Friday in Spokane, Washington at Whitworth University and is for girls only ages 12-18. The cost of this six day camp is $485. Campers will come on Sunday for evaluation and division into teams. They then will join the Team Camp beginning Monday. This will give elite camp girls a very competitive camp experience playing against strong high school teams. They will encounter zone as well as man for man and be coached by a top NBC Camp representative. Only girls who have had at least three years of training should consider this camp.

NBC Camps are working to secure college coaches to recruit during this camp. For questions about elite camp email: Tracy Ellis Ward at tellisward@nbccamps.com
