Are the coaches at the camp qualified?
Each camp will be led by Coach Anthony Piccirillo. Coach Picc has over 14 years of experience coaching all levels of youth basketball with most of it being at the high school varsity level with the following schools: Oak Glen, Weirton, and Burgettstown. Coach Picc currently holds an NFHS-Level 3 Coaching Certification and USA Basketball Gold Coaching License since 2020. Coach Picc has worked 9 camps for Breakthrough Basketball over the past few years with coaches Chris Oliver, Don Kelbick, Tyler Whitcomb, and Charlie Miller. Coach Picc has worked 3 sessions at the Snow Valley School of Basketball in Iowa. Snow Valley is ran by coaches Don Showalter, who is a 10 time gold medalist as a head coach for USA Basketball’s Men’s U17 team. Coach Picc has worked multiple sessions each year at Coach Wootten’s Boy’s Overnight Basketball Camp in Maryland over the past few years and will continue to do so each year. Coach Wootten’s camp is known as the #1 Instructional Basketball Camp in the World and really doesn’t get many people the debate that claim. The camp has been recommended by coaches at every level for players to play at and for coaches to coach at. These coaches include: Dan Hurley- Head Coach of UCONN Men’s Basketball, Mike Brey- Assistant Coach of Atlanta Hawks, and Mike Brown- Head Coach of Sacramento Kings. The camp is ran by Joe Wootten, who is the Head Chairman for the McDonald’s High School All-American Selection Committee. It is clear to see that Coach Picc is a student of the game and continues to learn from the best in the game.
*All sessions will also be coached by Justin Horstman. Coach Horstman is currently a teacher at Weir Middle School and the Head Freshman Boys Basketball coach at Burgettstown High School. Coach Horstman has coached basketball for over 7 years and still currently works with players to improve their game.
