Highly regarded as a master of the fundamentals, Krause has authored 13 instructional coaching books on basketball and has been honoured for his efforts as a coach, educator and administrator.
The camp for boys and girls 11-14yrs of age will take place on October 22 from 5:30-8:30pm and a similar session will be held for boys and girls 15yrs of age and older on October 23 from 10:00am to 2:00pm.
