LEXINGTON, Ky. – University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari and his staff will close out their 2010 camp season on Thursday, Aug. 5 with the final satellite camp.

The 2010 satellite camp tour concludes in Mason County (Mason County HS) and Newport (Newport Central Catholic HS).

The camps, which will include instruction from the Kentucky Basketball coaching staff, allow participants to learn the game of basketball through a fundamental, intensive learning environment. The camps will give individuals the chance to learn more about the game of basketball, introducing drills that can be used at home.

Open to children in kindergarten through sixth grades, each session will also help the individuals develop positive attitudes, as well as gain more confidence on and off the court. In addition to learning the game, participants will receive a Kentucky Basketball t-shirt, as well as opportunities for autographs and photos.

The fee for each camp is $75 per child. Registration is available at www.ukathletics.com/camps. Both camps will open at sites one hour before check-in. For more information, please contact the Kentucky Basketball office at (800) 852-2875.
