Basketball Camp
We are thrilled to host a special basketball camp for high school students aged 13-18 at the historic MacArthur Court & Philomath High School. This camp is a fantastic opportunity for young athletes to develop their skills, learn from experienced players, and enjoy the game.
For the Willamette Valley Jaguars, our mission goes beyond the court; it’s about fostering a profound and mutual respect between our organization and the people of Eugene and its neighboring areas.
Our commitment extends far beyond the lines of the court. We are dedicated to becoming an integral part of this community, striving to be positive role models for the youth and active contributors to our city.
The Willamette Valley Jaguars are not just a team; we are a catalyst with a symbol of excellence. We want our name to be synonymous with mutual respect, community support, and youth development.
McArthur Court, also known as “The Pit” or “Mac Court,” is a legendary basketball arena on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene. Once home to the Oregon Ducks men’s and women’s basketball teams, the arena was replaced by Matthew Knight Arena in 2011.
Named after Clifton N. (Pat) McArthur, a U.S. Congressman and the university’s first student body president, McArthur Court is famed for its unique structure, where fans sit almost on top of the court, making the maple floor bounce with their enthusiasm. Sporting News named it the “best gym in America” in 2001, and sports writer Bill Kintner ranked it among the top five college basketball arenas for its history, character, and thrilling atmosphere.
