Join the coaching staff of CMC’s Fighting Cacti Women’s Basketball Team for a skill and development basketball camp for girls in the 7th – 12th grade.  The camp will be Saturday and Sunday, April 6 & 7 at the Bell Center on the CMC campus in Joshua Tree.

Please register with the QR code or the link below. We need to prepare each group according to their skill level. Players may move to different levels depending on their strengths and skills they may need more development work in. This can sometimes give an outcome of a player being in more than one level/group, and that is totally okay!! They could move to an advanced level for offense, and a developmental level for defense. We want to meet each player where they are and give them tools to improve.

This camp is open to any club, community, or school players female players 12-17 years old.  We also want to invite any college students that are thinking of joining our team, or transfer players wanting to meet the coaches and get a tour of the Copper Mountain College Campus.

Our team of Instructors will be there to inspire and support every participant through every session. Our instructors are typically College grads who have played at the College level, we will also have basketball coaches with High School and/or AAU experience. Coach Clement played at SBCC, then finished her basketball career at CSUEB earning her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and is also a Certified Coach for Mental Performance Mastery, Coach Whiteside was nominated for the McDonald’s All-American team. Playing Division 1 basketball at LIU Brooklyn and later Division 2 at Biola University shows her dedication to the sport. Maya must have had an incredible journey playing at both levels and offers valuable feedback to players and parents.

Our objectives are to give the roadmap, teachings, inspiration, and tools to improve players to have confidence, get minutes, & stand out on the floor.  We will work on developing a mindset needed to dominate the competition.
