"The camp was structured really well; this kept the players focused for the entire day. The coaching staff for Midwest Elite Basketball were great. I thought the afternoon sessions of the camp were very important because it stressed basketball from a team perspective."
- Rob Hullinger, Assistant Boys Basketball Coach, River Valley high, Correctionville, IA

Midwest Elite Basketball was co-founded in March of 2006 by Brad Schmit with the goal of providing the best off-season basketball camps in the nation to the Midwestern states.
We didn't feel that team camps provided an environment for player or team development, rather, just a summer experience to play over-priced, loosely officiated pickup games. We came up with the idea of traveling from school to school to host basketball camps and help players develop not only as individuals but as team players as well. Since the summer of 2006 we have expanded vastly and now serve the states of IA, MN, NE, SD, and WI. We have expanded our coaching staff as well and hire only top qualified (mostly college) coaches all of which are trained by Brad based around our "proven-successful" off-season camp curriculum. Our camps have shown great results and the testimonies from the high school coaches who decided to bring Midwest Elite Basketball in, speak for themselves.
Brad Schmit is a graduate and current head assistant coach at Morningside College in Sioux City, IA. Last year, in his first season on the Morningside staff, Brad was the second assistant; he specialized in perimeter player development and was the head junior varsity coach. After helping head coach Jim Sykes lead Morningside to an 18 win season Brad was promoted to head assistant. Brad's duties now include recruiting, player development, practice management, game management, scouting and strength and conditioning. Brad is considered one of the top "shot doctors" in the Midwest.
Brad played four years for the Morningside Mustangs and finished as the all-time leading scorer in school history tallying 1,987 points. In his senior season Brad lead the Mustangs to the Great Plains Athletics Conference title and the Elite Eight of the NAIA National Tournament. A four-year starter at the collegiate level, Brad received All-American accolades following his junior and season seasons and was named to the National Tournament team.
Brad went to high school in Jessup, IA and was an all-state performer his senior season.
