Junior Basketball Summer Camp Junior Basketball Summer Camp

Introduction

Our True North Junior Basketball Camp in Lawrence Park is a recreational day camp for girls and boys of all skill levels, ages 4 to 8 years old. Operating Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at John Ross Robertson JPS, the program designed to improve the fundamental movement skills of our early-years campers in a basketball-specific environment. We will teach all of the wacky rules of basketball and play fun games to learn the different techniques. By developing their dribbling, passing, shooting, and rebounding skills, campers will build the self-confidence necessary to help them succeed as a young athlete. By rotating positions during drills and scrimmages, players will have a chance to play guard, forward, and centre. Come test your skills at horse, bump and our end of week 3-on-3 tournament!
