Behn Basketball February Vacation Clinic - Triton Regional High School Byfield, Massachusetts
Behn Basketball Camp is coming to Triton Regional High School in Byfield for the first time this winter. This three day clinic is a well organized, efficient program for the development of individual skills and team play.
The largest and most successful basketball camp in New England, Behn Basketball has grown throughout Eastern Massachusetts for the past 19 years with a reputation of excellent teaching focused on fundamentals. For years we have operated a successful February Vacation Camp in Mansfield. After numerous requests from our summer camp families attending Govenor's Academy in Byfied for more camp throughout the seasons, we are coming to Triton Regional High School this winter. With two gyms and four full courts it is the perfect facility in a great location for this clinic.
Our experienced coaches create an intense yet comfortable atmosphere that encourages learning and development. The goal is for each player to leave camp with improved skills, increased confidence, and acquired knowledge on how to practice and succeed. And of course we have fun too!

Erica Anderson
A former standout player at Siena College from 1999-03, Erica Anderson is currently in her second year as Assistant Head Coach to Sarah Behn with the UMass Lowell women's basketball program.
"I've been working with Erica for about 10 years," says Sarah Behn, "She has been a director at my camps for a number of years and I new her as a player having coached against her. She is an awesome talent, a great coach and runs an excellent camp."
Read Full BioWhile at Siena, Anderson was a two-time Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) all-star, earning third team honors as a junior and second team as a senior, and was a member of the All-Rookie Team as a freshman.
She graduated among career leaders in several categories: 3-point field goals (third, 182), assists (fifth, 416) and scoring (14th, 1,174 points). She led Siena to the postseason all four years, including an NCAA Tournament bid in 2001 where the Saints fell to Colorado, 98-78, in the first round.

Over her four years, Siena posted an 82-39 mark (56-16 in the MAAC) and captured the MAAC regular season titles in 2001 and 2002 as well as the MAAC Tournament crown in 2002.
