US Sports Camps and Top Division I Coaches Set to Offer Winter Showcase Camp in Las Vegas
US Sports Camps, the nation’s largest operator of youth sports camps, has created an intensive two-day, junior golf program that provides instruction from and exposure to Division I college coaches. The Champions in Las Vegas Camp is offered for junior golfers (boys and girls), ages 12-18, and will take place at Angel Park Golf Club on December 11th and 12th.
In collaboration with eight Division I coaches, the camp provides valuable insight into the recruiting process and what it takes to play at the collegiate level. The camp is split into two gender-specific groups upon arrival. Along with daily instruction and on-course evaluation, the camp also includes a dinner banquet on Saturday evening which offers seminars, Q&A, and one-on-one interaction with the camp staff.
“We’re thrilled to offer this new showcase camp in Las Vegas,” says national director of golf for US Sports Camps, Westy McQueen. “The opportunity for young players to interact and learn from such a high-caliber group of coaches is truly special.”
The staff for this two-day event includes both of the national champion head coaches (men’s and women’s), three national championship semi-finalists, and several "Power 5" conference champions. Jon Whithaus, Associate Head Coach for Duke Women’s Golf, serves as a guest coach and also as the national camp coordinator for College Showcase Camps. Whithaus was selected as the WGCA National Assistant Coach of the Year and assistant coach for the 2021 U.S. Palmer Cup Team.
