From USA to Hørsholm - Basketball a lifestyle!

Many years ago I met Coach Vaughn at a camp in small town called Åmål in Sweden. Most people no it as the town in the movie title "fucking Åmål", but most is filmed in other places so local people shake their heads at that movie.


He was running a camp up there and I had two players with college ambitions and they wanted to attend the camp to maybe increase their chances of coming over and playing college ball. I had nothing better to do on my vacation away from basketball so of course i went to a basketball camp to watch.

That later lead to me getting a schoolarship and I was supposed to go and coach with Coach Vaughn at Louisiana Lafayette "the ragin cajuns" NCAA d1 sun belt conference, well some terrorists fixed so my VISA never was approved and that ended in nothing.

For many years like 10-12 years we have been talking about doing something and this year finally the puzzle pieces fell into their places and we rescerected "Coach Vaughn Basketball Camp" for my two teams here in Horsholm and my kids practiced from the 2-6 of January with Coach Vaughn and his son Robert.  We did this instead of playing in Lundaspelen like traditonally every teams does, we did something else and we loved it and gained lots of great stuff or the future.

We started with a 3,30 hour practice on the second of January


Coach Vaughns has over 32 years experience in coaching high school and college players, he also does personal training with a couple of NBA players which most known is Brandon Bass of the Boston Celtics.

With Coach Vaughn & son taking care of practices we coaches watched or did other things to keep the camp flowing. Food, who is gonna eat what, which day Coach Camilla is master of caos.

Its very tough just watching practices and not holding them so we had to make a survival kit to the gym.


Working hard ballhandling, one ball, two ball, tricks and skills moving and standing still every day a different challenge. Can you do this, try this, look here this is the trick to to make it work!?

Mange timmer træning da trænger man til lidt stretching

Vi havde selvfølgelig med kampen mellem 79ers og Svendborg som en aktivitet på campen

Instructions and details Coach Vaughn "dont make up your own drill, coaches hate that"
