The Memphis Grizzlies will tip-off their annual Summer Youth Basketball Camps
presented by Nike this Tuesday, May 28. The team will host a total of 15
sessions in multiple locations across the Mid-South this summer. All sessions
will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, and the camps are open to boys and
girls from ages 7-16. Participants of all skill levels are welcome.
At each session, campers will receive skills training from Grizzlies Youth
Basketball staff, which is comprised of current and former college players and
coaches, referees, and other basketball professionals. The drills and activities
taught during each camp are modeled after some of the same training techniques
used by the Memphis Grizzlies themselves. To supplement the technical training,
participants will also compete in a variety of fun and challenging contests,
competitions and games throughout each of the four-day sessions.
Campers will also receive a package which will include a Nike camp T-shirt, a
full-size Grizzlies basketball and other Grizzlies-themed items. Each camp will
also end with an awards ceremony recognizing all campers in which participants
will have opportunities to win autographed merchandise and other prizes. In
addition, select sessions will feature appearances by special Memphis Grizzlies
guests such as players, coaches and entertainment teams.
Finally, and for the first time ever, the Grizzlies will also host an All-Girls
Camp. While general sessions will remain co-ed, the All-Girls Camp on June 24-27
at Independent Presbyterian Church will allow female campers to play alongside
and compete against other young girls exclusively. In addition to the standard
camp perks, the All-Girls camp will also feature: special female instructors, a
panel discussion with female Grizzlies employees and other industry leaders to
help guide, encourage and inspire attendees, and giveaways from Nike’s “Made to
Play” and Jr. NBA’s “Her Time To Play” initiatives.
Limited slots are still available and many sessions are filling up quickly. To
