About the Director, Louise Foley
In 2002 Bob and I started Bob Foley Next Level Basketball. It was our mission to provide the Richmond area youth a basketball camp experience that focuses on the fundamentals of the game while having fun in the process.
Bob and I both had collegiate coaching experience over the past 43 years. Bob had coached at University of Colorado, Penn State, Providence College and the University of Richmond. I have previously coached at Dartmouth College , Brown University and Godwin high School after playing collegiately at Penn State for four years.
It is the love of the game that drove us into the teaching of the game. Next Level Basketball has been a successful camp experience for many and I most definitely plan on continuing the teachings that Next Level has been respected for.
Philosophy
Our mission is to prepare young players for their upcoming basketball season by teaching them the fundamentals skills and also teaching them how to practice those skills to improve as a player. We are a firm believer that to be an effective player at any level, you must first conquer the basic fundamentals and grow from there. Like an engineer trying to build a quality structure, the foundation must be firm and strong to build anything of value on top of it.
Practicing the proper skills leads to faster and higher quality development. We will teach players how to make the most of their limited time and put together efficient workouts that will help them reach …THE NEXT LEVEL!
We also believe in teaching life skills through athletics. We stress the importance of respect, discipline, hard work, teamwork, and the other life skills important to a successful life! My staff and I continually stress the importance of academics as a major part of an athletes daily routine. We truly hope that each player I come in contact with leaves our clinics as a better player and more importantly, a better person!
