Kutsher's Sports Academy is moving to the finest sports camping facility in the country for the 2008 season. Not only will we have brand new courts and fields (all with lights for night play) but we have also built a 22,000 sf Field House which will feature the original Boston Garden basketball floor, given to KSA by Red Auerbach, the late President and former Coach of the Boston Celtics. Our new 300 acre campus sits directly on the shores of Deer Head Lake in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, only minutes from the Delaware River. The facility includes 5 outdoor basketball courts, 12 tennis courts, 2 soccer fields, 2 baseball fields, a golf range (with an 18 hole course directly across the street from the camp) a full waterfront area that includes sailing, canoeing, rowing and waterskiing, a trapeze and a weight, conditioning and fitness complex.
