Basketball In Paradise is all about the community.

Our organization provides opportunities for individuals, businesses, and corporations to get involved at the community level. Not only are we a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, but we are a TRUE non-profit. We are all volunteers- we have no paid staff.

Your donations help us run our camps and provide support for those with a wide variety of special needs. Our “unified” format and diversity of ages, abilities, faiths, and backgrounds fosters strong community bond.

Information for Volunteers

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Hoop Camp, a basketball camp for children and adults of all ages in our community with special needs. All our athletes have a variety of abilities and it’s important we adjust drills, games and
 contests based on individual ability so all campers can enjoy success. Most of our participants range in age from 6-50 years of age, so make sure you can adjust our drills contests and games accordingly.

We are in need of the following volunteer positions:

  • Head Coach
  • Player Coach
  • Support Staff

Bring your basketball attire and lots of energy.  The morning is dedicated to fundamental drills and contests like free throws, hot shot shooting, dribbling, ball handling, passing, lay-ups, etc. Our emphasis is not on competition but rather fun for everyone involved.

Teams of 8-10 players and will need 3 or 4 coaches per team. Safety is our number one concern, so you need to be aware of where your players are at all times. Be positive at all times and make sure you contact one of the camp directors immediately if someone is hurt or needs any assistance.

Check in begins at 8:30 am each day. Please arrive early to assist with check-ins, connect with players, and receive instruction on the activities for the day.

Please plan on staying until 2:30 p.m. to help with checkout and cleaning.

Drinks and lunches are provided for all volunteers. All volunteers need to be at least 16 years of age.

If you have any additional questions, please call our director Steve Garrity at (503) 875-8281.
