South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley hosts her first two camps of the summer this weekend on the University campus. She will welcome participants in her Team Camp Shootout for Saturday and Sunday, then continue with individual day campers Monday-Thursday next week. Spaces are still available for both. Anyone interested in participating can call 803-777-8824 for more information.

Team Camp Shootout is open to all AAU, junior varsity and varsity teams and features experienced certified officials. It will be the premier shootout in the South and provides a unique opportunity for teams to train together and improve players’ skills. Teams are categorized into separate divisions to provide the most competitive summer experience and are guaranteed four games.

Individual Day Camp is designed to develop and teach basketball skills. The camp will emphasize fundamental basketball and overall player development. Daily instruction and stations will focus on dribbling, ball-handling, shooting, rebounding and defensive techniques. Campers will compete on teams in order to apply their individual skills to the team concept. Camp is open to any and all rising 6th – 12th grade girls.

Dawn Staley Basketball Academy Camps are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and are open to any and all entrants who meet the advertised age or grade level requirements.
