A native of Alaska, he was a standout player at East Anchorage High School where he helped lead them to numerous state tournament appearances. After completing four years of collegiate competition at Eastern Oregon University (B. S., 1992), where he was team captain his senior year, Muhic was given the opportunity to coach at the college level. Aaron began his coaching career in 1993, as an assistant for Pierce College in Tacoma, Washington. After one year, Coach Muhic pursued his master's degree in Sports Science (M.S., 1996) at the United States Sports Academy in Daphne, Alabama. He also spent one year as an assistant at Lane Community College, Eugene, Oregon for Dr. Jim Boutin. In 1995, Aaron was named head coach for Warner Pacific College in Portland, Oregon (at the age of 25). While at Warner, Coach Muhic built the basketball program and secured a Pacific Northwest Collegiate Conference Championship. After four years in Portland, Muhic was given the opportunity to coach at Glen Oaks College in Michigan, where he helped the team post a record of 18-12 and make the national junior college regional tournament. With a chance to move back to the West Coast, Muhic joined San Jose Christian College (now WJU); he led the SJCC basketball program in 2003 to the USCAA National Tournament.
Complete Skills: This program is intended to help players develop athletically. The individual camp is a great opportunity for young basketball players looking to develop and refine their fundamental basketball skills. This program also includes a curriculum for intermediate/ advanced players looking to enhance their skill set at the post, wing, or guard position. Emphasis is placed on fundamental development, shooting, offensive moves, defense, rebounding, team play, and more.
Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. In addition, campers will be evaluated and then split up into smaller groups according to age and ability.

Camp gave me the courage to go out for my school's basketball team
The camp gave me the courage to go out for the basketball team at my school this year. Thank you to all of the staff!
Camper Parent
My son had a wonderful time
My son was the youngest camper and the smallest camper so I worried about his being accepted. But with the help of the director and staff, he was easily immersed into the games/drills by all. The kids were great and he had a wonderful time. Thank you.

This camp is the best one I've been to
Compared to other camps I’ve been to, this one was the best so far. And I liked the camp this year even better than last year.
