About Coach Travis Ford
A new era in UMass basketball was ushered in on March 25, 2005 as Travis Ford was named the new head men's basketball coach. Ford is a rising star in the coaching profession and came to UMass after leading Eastern Kentucky to the NCAA Tournament to culminate his five-year stint with the Colonels.

"We are extremely pleased that Travis Ford and his wife Heather have become part of the UMass family," McCutcheon said of UMass' 20th men's basketball coach. "He brings exactly the kind of experience, energy and charisma that we were hoping to find in a head coach. Travis distinguished himself from an outstanding group of candidates and we could not be more excited about the impact his appointment will have on the future of UMass Basketball."

Ford has emerged as one of the brightest, energetic and personable coaches in the nation. A decorated player at the University of Kentucky, Ford earned numerous accolades as the Wildcats' point guard from 1991-94. As a head coach, he led NAIA school Campbellsville University to a 67-31 record from 1997-2000 leading the Tigers to a National Tournament appearance in his final season.

"I am extremely excited to join the University of Massachusetts, a school with rich basketball tradition," said Ford. "I am looking forward to working hard every day to bring the excitement and energy back to one of New England's finest institutions. I know our fans seek the enthusiasm and passion that I can bring to Western Massachusetts and pack the Mullins Center again."

I recognize that there are certain dangers, risks and possible injuries which are inherent in and may result from participation in camp activities. I understand that despite the safety taken by the Travis Ford Basketball School staff personnel and the University of Massachusetts, that it is impossible to guarantee that any camper will not be injured. I have instructed my child to obey the rules, regulations and instructions of camp personnel in an effort to minimize such risks. I/my child is in good physical health and fitness to allow him to participate in camp activities. In the event of possible injury, I give permission for the admission of emergency medical care to my child/me. The camper's own personal policy will act as the primary insurance.
