The Bronco Big Man Camp is the cornerstone for all the WMU summer camps. It is the longest running post player development camp in the country. Many former campers have gone on to compete collegiately in conferences such as the Big Ten, Pac Ten, MAC and Horizon, as well as numerous Division II and Division III institutions.

The Broncos' basketball staff will also conduct the WMU Perimeter Camp for its second year. The Big Man Camp and The Perimeter Camp will be run separately but during the same camp week. Each camp will focus on the specific skills and techniques necessary to be successful at that position. Each camper will reinforce their training in game settings, highlighted by 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 tournaments. Guest speakers will address topics on NCAA eligibility, nutrition and strength and conditioning. The camps are open to young men who will be entering the ninth grade and who have not yet completed high school. Players of all sizes and ability are provided a highly specialized learning environment and great competition. The Specialized Position Camps are a must for any player who is looking to expand his low-post, mid-range or perimeter game!

Campers will have a choice of staying on campus during the camps or commuting. If you choose to commute, please choose that session option for your respective camp (Big Man or Perimeter) during registration.

Meet WMU Head Coach Steve Hawkins
Coach Hawkins is in his third season at the helm of the Bronco men's basketball team. He won back-to-back Mid-American Conference West Divsion titles in his first two years at Western Michigan University, thus establishing WMU as one of the premier programs in the Midwest. Hawkins' love of basketball began at the John Wooden Basketball Camps in Southern California. The Bronco Summer Youth Basketball Camps are a vital part of Coach Hawkins' program.

Message from Coach Hawkins
"Conducting our basketball camps is one of my most important responsibilities as the head coach at Western Michigan University. As a teacher of the game, I emphasize learning solid fundamentals, while playing with great passion and enthusiasm. These are the guiding principles of our program. Our 2007 camps will provide a fun, competitive, fast-paced environment for young men to learn the game as well as meet new friends. We are looking forward to a tremendous summer and hope that you will join us!"

Why the Western Michigan Basketball Camp?

We strive to instill confidence into our campers. Our camper-to-coach ratio is low in order to provide quality instruction and supervision
The Environment - The Bronco Camps are designed to create an environment where athletes are respected (not belittled), encouraged (not yelled at) and coached (not crushed). We evaluate each camper's skills the first day, taking into account age and grade, and place them into groups that will allow them to maximize their opportunity to improve. We make sure the sport of basketball stays fun
Our Mission - To offer a basketball camp that targets the objectives our campers have for themselves. We will teach sound fundamentals to beginners as well as provide a highly competitive environment for more advanced players.
