HATTIESBURG, Miss. - Southern Miss basketball coach Doc Sadler will hold four basketball camps this summer: an Individual Skills Camp, June 20-23, a Ball handling and Shooting Camp and a Post Player Specialty Camp, both of which will be held on June 24, as well as a Little Dribbler's Camp from June 28-30.
The Individual Skills Camp is slated for kids ages 9 through rising high school seniors. The camp will begin at 9 a.m. and last through 4:30 p.m. each day, and will feature fundamentals along with daily competition. All skill levels are accepted. Cost for the camp is $175 and lunch will be included.
The Ball handling & Shooting Camp is for kids ages 9 through rising seniors. The camp will focus on the offensive fundamentals of basketball. Shooting, dribbling and passing techniques will be taught to each camper. It will last from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Cost for the camp is $50.
The Post Player Specialty Camp is open to campers ages 9 through rising seniors. The camp will focus on improving post play, including offensive techniques. It will last from 1-4 p.m. and the cost is $50.
Finally, the Little Dribblers Camp is open for children ages 6-9. The camp focuses on beginning basketball campers, including both fundamentals and competition, and includes lower baskets. Cost of that camp is $75.
"Growing up as a kid, I can remember going to camps every summer," said Sadler. "The things that were most important were to have fun, meet new people, and make new friends. Our three goals of these camps are for our campers to learn as much as they can about basketball. But, most importantly, we want them to have fun and meet new people."
All camps are available for both boys and girls. For more information, visit www.SouthernMiss.com, call 601-266-5044 or email Norma Burke at norma.burke@usm.edu.
