What They Say
"Coach Downer's camp is like a family. I love coming back to lend a hand."
"He had a lot to do with me. I was very fortunate to have great coaching throughout my career... He was a great coach."
"I've been around basketball my whole life, and I trusted Coach Downer with my son for a reason. He teaches the game the right way: fundamentals, discipline, and character. I couldn't have asked for a better coach for my kid."
"My son has gone to Coach Downer's camp for nine years straight — he came back a different player every single summer. The confidence, the work ethic, the love for the game. There's nothing else like it. This camp changed his life."
