Since 1993 Sarah has grown Behn Basketball to be the largest and most successful camp in New England. Over the past 18 years she has cultivated an expert group of directors, some of which have been with her for all 18 years, to help teach her curriculum at our various locations. Her passion for teaching, attention to fundamentals, and love of basketball has helped develop a unique group of loyal coaches who return to camp summer after summer.

Thanks
Though we've said only a few words to each other, you have been a tremendous mentor for my daughter, Jacy. She has attended your Basketball Camp at Acton the past two years. After her first year at your Camp I noticed Jacy's basketball skills and confidence improved dramatically. Jacy tried out for a spot on the Lady Panthers Travel Team based out of Lowell, Ma. She was one of 9 other girls trying out for two positions. She made the team.
Once again, thanks to you and your team of counselors for what she learned, she is ready.
