Steven and Lisa Garrity
Steve, a native of Oregon currently residing in Beaverton, along with his wife, Lisa, set the stage for this annual event. The two have four wonderful children, Hayes, Hannah, Hailey and Halle. Steve played college basketball at both Idaho State and the University of Alaska at Anchorage. He furthered a professional career playing in Europe, competing in the CBA, and a NBA development camp.

While playing, Steve also filled the role of a player-coach. His extensive coaching and playing history makes him one of the finest coaches in the country. Steve combines his "player's mentality" with a deep understanding of coaching strategies and tactics. Steve considers himself from the fundamentalist school of basketball. He specializes in working with older camp athletes, as he helps them take their game to the next level of performance.

Steve's former employer, Pacific Office Automation, provides a great deal of assistance and support for this community effort. We thank them for their generous contributions.

Youth Directors
Scott Goold and Leesa Liskey focus on developing skills for the younger players at HoopCamp. These include fundamentals in areas of shooting form, dribbling techniques, rebounding positioning and defensive skills.

Scott was raised in Idaho and met Steve through basketball. He currently lives in Albuquerque with his wife, AnnMarie, and their dog, Kobe. Scott played college ball at Idaho State, and was fortunate to extend his career into the professional ranks with teams in Latin America, Europe, the CBA and NBA development camps.

Leesa Liskey graduated from Southridge HS in 2007. She was active in theatre, a member of the international Thespian Society and on the Thespian board. She enjoys Ice Hockey and has been playing for nine years.

Leesa plans to attend Portland State University. She's worked HoopCamp for five years and loves coaching for many reasons: the environment is simply amazing. Everyone is so positive and wants everyone to succeed. HoopCamp is not about one person but about the whole.

Leesa began by working with the older players, but says she found her calling when Scott asked to help with the younger athletes. She loves interacting with the kids and watching them work so hard to improve.

Scott also emphasizes off-court aspects of athletic performance. These include nutritional and cross training instruction. Scott advised the Chinese Women's Volleyball team between 1994-96. The team earned a Silver medal in the '96 Atlanta Summer Olympics.
