The First Academy and Royals boys basketball coach Tarrik Mabon are set to host a Nike boys basketball camp for players ages 8 to 16 from Monday, June 23 to Friday, June 27 at Cramer Family Field House. The camp will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday to Thursday and from 9 a.m. to noon on Friday.

According to the camp’s website, whether you are new to the game or are wanting to refine your skillset, the complete skills camp is the perfect place to help players of all abilities develop athletically, refine fundamental basketball skills and enhance their skill set at the post, wing or guard position, as well as help build confidence in your game by working through technical skills in drills and scrimmages.

Campers can expect to spend more than three hours in each of the five days focused on their individual skill development, a 1-to-10 camper-to-counselor ratio for individualized coaching attention and highly competitive 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 play.
