2018 IPABOA Summer Camp for Basketball Officials

Tom Drakeford	Bill Jones	John Guerrero	Frank Irvin

The 2018 International Pro-Am Basketball Officials Camp/Clinic to be held in conjunction with Delaware Valley USA Sports - National Pro Am City Leagues Championship Tournament.  

The camp dates have been set for April 23 - 25, 2018, which the National Championship Basketball Tournament will follow on April 26 - April 29, 2018. The camp consist of classroom sessions, intense floor workout and exercises with training tape sessions.  

Several guest speakers will be in attendance.  We have been very fortunate to have NBA Finals Officials, Legends and Rookies as guest speakers each year; this year will be no different.  We will post updates on the website as we confirm who will be in attendance as guest speakers for the 2018 camp. 

Officials will be selected to work the National Championship Tournament based on their classroom performances and floor training.  We teach only NBA rules and mechanics. The play level is high and very intense.  You will be officiating adults that know how to play the game, and not AAU teams.  Teams from all over the United States consists of top overseas, former top collegiate and NBA players. The teams are playing for cash prizes, so the competition will be of high caliper.  This is what makes this camp unique and different than any other camp that you have attended.  

"We take your investment in your time and money seriously." 

Our staffs' goals are to maximize each Camper to be the best Basketball Official at what ever level they  aspire to work. The camp is not for the "faint of heart", so acceptance of criticism is key. We give you the best tools to put you in a better position to get to the next level.

Some great officials who have come through our program includes:

Monty McCutchen	Mike Callahan	Tom Washington	Marc Davis	James Capers

Rodney Mott	Derrick Collins	Kane Fitzgerald	Dan Crawford	Matt Boland

Leroy Richardson	Gary Zielinski	Derek Richardson	Tre Maddox	Haywoode Workman

Brett Nansel	Daryl Humphrey	Kurt Walker	Lamont Simpson	Mike Price

The camp will be limited to 40 officials, so if you have intentions to attend please register early.

Officials are encouraged to share housing together to save on cost. For those who have not attended our camp before, a list of inexpensive hotel on and off the strip will be supplied by request.

Once you have registered, you will have access to The NBA rule and case books to download from our website.

There will be additional emails as time gets closer. Any questions please feel free to contact me.

We hope to see you all in Las Vegas!
