The Staff
We've established Arrowood specifically to give campers the opportunity to develop proper techniques and fundamentals. We truly believe that the best way to do this is to surround them with knowledgeable and enthusiastic people who can effectively communicate with athletes. The Arrowood coaching staff consists of well known coaches from around the Twin Cities, many of whom have played and/or coached at the college level themselves. These individuals know firsthand exactly what skills young players must obtain, as well as the best ways to obtain them. Arrowood counselors include current players from Division I, II, or III programs that stay in the cabins with the campers. Our goal is to provide campers with positive role models who have as much to offer campers off the court as they do on the court.
