The Rookies Basketball Camp is for kids who are just learning how to play the game, have some experience in a beginner league or instruction.  Players are broken up by grade and ability, introduced to the fundamentals and participate in daily contests to ensure new skills are applied in a fun and competitive environment. Players will also be placed on teams to compete in games and team competitions throughout the week.  This camp is a great option for younger players to learn beginner skills and start with good habits.
