Basketball Camp Improves Fundamentals Focus in on Teaching Skills and Having Fun by Brad Kelly Staff Writer Watching NBA players float through the air, twisting twisting and turning while dunking a basketball, is always a highlight of any professional match.

"We want to teach the skills, but at the same time, let the kids have fun," said the organizer of the camp, Sarto Provenzano, who is a basketball coach at McLaughlin high school in Oshawa.
