UNCA Basketball camp objectives are to improve basic game skills: shooting, dribbling, rebounding, defense, and passing while also improving offensive and defensive positional play. Their plan is to improve overall fitness, offer continual coaching during instructional and game situations. Players will be grouped by age and ability and will be learning the basic strategies and rules of basketball. Ages range from 6-17! Teamwork will be emphasized to learn more about basketball while enjoying the game and learning from current collegiate athletes and coaches. The goal of UNCA basketball camp is to improve the level of play of each camper and provide them with a rewarding and FUN camp experience that will last a life time. Campers will learn the fundamentals of basketball and enjoying the positive, encouraging, and hard working atmosphere that we will provide! Camp will be from 9am – 4pm daily and is open to both boys and girls!
This year is the 8th annual camp and there are over 300 attendees. Coach Mike Morrell sees it as an opportunity to connect with the community. “It is a week that they get an opportunity to come here and it’s mostly about basketball, but its not all about basketball,” he said.
