Perimeter
This Perimeter Camp is designed to concentrate on the perimeter game. The focus will be making the player a more proficient ball handler and increase explosiveness on the offensive and defensive end. Emphasis will be placed on perimeter play, including offensive moves, shooting, ball handling, footwork, and defense. Along with individual instruction, campers will participate in games and contests. Sign up today to improve your game outside of the key! Both camps will incorporate conditioning and agility training to improve overall basketball skills and coordination.

Ed Swanson took the reins of the Sacred Heart University women’s basketball progra
m in 1990 and has built the Pioneers into one of the top teams in the Northeast Conference and throughout the Northeast region. Swanson’s career has seen the veteran coach eclipse the 300 career victories mark on the road to a pair of NEC Championships and earned him the honor of being inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame this fall. Beginning his 20th season on the Sacred Heart bench, Swanson has built the Pioneers into one of the top-teams year in and year out in the NEC and is coming off a season where he led SHU to a perfect run through the league and the program’s second conference title in the last four years. The Pioneers posted just the third perfect 18-0 mark in NEC history last year earning the head coach his third NEC Coach of the Year award. Over the past 14 seasons, the Pioneers have posted at least a .500 record or better under Swanson, a run that has included five 20 win seasons. Last season’s magical run included a pair of coaching milestones as Swanson moved past former Mount St. Mary’s head coach Bill Sheahan (124) in all-time Northeast Conference wins at 138 and counting while also eclipsing the 300 win plateau in career victories.
