LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Kentucky Men’s Basketball program is pleased to announce the dates and information for the two sessions of the 2014 John Calipari Overnight Camps.
To register as an overnight camper and stay in a dorm room for this year’s Overnight Camps, participants MUST be 12 years of age prior to the first day of camp (6/15/14 for Session 1 & 6/29/14 for Session 2). Campers below the age of 12 MUST register and participate as a Day Camper/Commuter. No exceptions, per University of Kentucky Athletics Department policy.
Limited number of spots available for all camps and are based on a first-come, first-serve basis, with online registration recommended as the fastest and most efficient form of registering campers. All camps previously listed were SOLD OUT the last two summers, so early registration is encouraged to secure a spot.
The Coach Calipari Overnight Basketball Camp Session 1 is scheduled for June 15-18 (Sunday to Wednesday)
The Coach Calipari Overnight Basketball Camp Session 2 is scheduled for June 29-July 2 (Sunday to Wednesday)
Both camps are open to boys ages 7-17.
Both camps will be held on the University of Kentucky campus. Buses will be provided to transport campers to all of the basketball facilities. Full-time athletic trainers will be stationed at each site throughout the duration of the camp, along with UK basketball staff members in all dorms to accommodate any questions or concerns campers may have. It is our goal to ensure a safe and fun environment, which provides all campers the opportunity to maximize their Kentucky Basketball experience.
Each of these camps offers four days of skills training, team games, individual competitions and a division tournament. Campers will be pre-assigned to appropriate age/grade level divisions in which all skills work, competitions and games will take place. Skills work will be taught by UK coaches and staff, along with current and former Wildcat players. Each camper will be assigned a team within their respective age groups. Complete camp itineraries, gym schedules, and Day Camper drop-off and pick-up information will be included in the reminder emails sent to parents prior to the start of camp. Parents are encouraged to visit any of the gym sites to watch their campers participate in basketball activities.
