Coach Chris Booth

Coach Booth is one of St. Louis area connections.   Coach Booth played Division I Basketball and grew up in the basketball crazy state of Indiana.   Coach Booth loves the game of basketball and helping kids.   Chris is high energy and by his smile you know his favorite place to be, must be in the gym!   Coach Booth has a strong attention to detail....his teaching of Shooting Technique and footwork are second to none.  This will be Coach Booth's 9th year with The Chute Shooting Camps and we feel fortunate to have him on our staff.


Coach Josh Pickett

Coach Pickett   (Mens Basketball Coach at Hannibal-LaGrange College in Missouri) is back for his 7th year with The Chute Camps.   Josh is a task master on the court.   He wants all the little things done right.... From starting camp on time to picking up water bottles and putting them where they belong.   This attention to detail carries over to his teaching of the game.    Coach Pickett understands that Shooting is all about Fundamentals!   From the Elbow in, to the role of the off-hand, players will not just shoot the ball...they will shoot the ball correctly!


Coach Marty Cotter

Coach Cotter is back with the Chute camp for his 10th year. He has been a basketball coach for 25 years. His first years were as A Junior High Coach at Northwood-Kensett. He has been the Head Boys Coach at NK for ten years. During those years he has taken his team to the State Tournament twice, winning a State Title in 2007. Coach Cotter believes solid fundamentals play a huge role in the success of his teams. He is a very upbeat coach who believes summer camps need to be focused around working on fundamentals and having fun. His camps are proven to be upbeat. He believes great shooters are made- not born and the Chute can play a BIG part in this process.


Coach Kelli Terrell

Coach Terrell is starting her 6th year with The Chute Camps.   Coach Terrell has built an impressive resume in a short period of time.  As the Head Women's Coach at NIACC  in Mason City, IA, Kelli built a program that went from a "nobody" in the JC ranks to finishing 3rd in the Nation in 2013.  Kelli then accepted the Womens position at NAIA Grand View in Des Moines.   Coach Terrell does an amazing job with our camps...she knows when to be patient and when to be demanding.   Kelli was an outstanding college player and she became that by outworking people.   That same work ethic defines her as a coach.
