The Red Auerbach International Basketball School offers young men 11 to 18 in two divisions, a unique opportunity to hone their skills over the course of the week-long session.
For over 60 years, the Red Auerbach International Basketball School has worked with young men to make them better basketball players and better citizens. Our program is intense and it is challenging. However, we cater to each camper based upon us not being a select camp. Red Auerbach, our founder, wanted a program that worked with youngsters who love the game and wanted to get better.
It is hard to estimate the value of international interactions. Campers from the U.S, Wales, Nova Scotia, Iceland and Italy playing and competing together is the common thread.

Auerbach School started in 1960 when Jerry Volk, the owner of a summer camp for boys and girls, met with Red Auerbach to look for more ways of utilizing his camp facilities. He and Red developed an immediate bond and together, they created the Red Auerbach Basketball School and Celtics Rookie Camp. All coaches, campers and Celtics players slept in cabins, ate in the mess hall and played on hard top outdoor courts. That was it for 20 years. It was time to move on.
In 1982, Steve Curley took over as the School Director and moved the program to Brandeis University. From there: Bryant, UNH, Nichols College, the University of New England in 2023, and now home again to Nichols College in central Massachusetts.
We are proud of our staff, many of whom have been part of the Auerbach School for many years.
