About Us

Our day camp is like a good family restaurant, one that serves excellent food but not everyone knows about.  I have directed the All-American Basketball Camp for it's entire history.  We are still standing while hundreds of camps have come and gone, because we have stressed quality basketball through proper teaching of fundamentals by a mature, adult coaching staff.  

Coupled with my son, co-director Ronald Alfieri, we offer more than a half-century of experience.  We guarantee that your child will be taught properly,  and will also have fun, the basic ingredients for learning.

Camps all over the United States have copied our teaching methods, especially how we encourage competition without emphasizing one camper's talent  to another.

For example when we play camp games, we do not keep score.  We play to correct mistakes, not have our coaches compete for camp championships.  Those can be won in their playing careers.

We keep no league standings but we do evaluate and judge who has demonstrated the highest skills.  Our most important judgment, however, is those awarded to the most improved campers.  Greatest improvement is what the camp is about.

Our philosophy stresses individual improvement within the teachings of a team game.  We remind our campers that if they are part of an outstanding camp team but learn little, they have wasted time.

Our camp is a disciplined one and yet we allow campers to make judgments during portions of our program.  However, every aspect of our camp concerns itself with proper supervision and safety.  When parents call to inquire about our procedures, I explain that we are as concerned about their children as they are because we are responsible for all of them.

Sincerely,

Gus Alfieri, Camp Director
