2017 John Calipari Women’s Clinic Set for Oct. 29 in Rupp Arena

by Eric Lindsey

LEXINGTON, Ky. – The ninth annual and always popular John Calipari Women’s Clinic presented by AllSports is set for Oct. 29 from 1-4 p.m. The clinic will take place in historical Rupp Arena for the second consecutive year.
 
The clinic is designed for women with all levels of basketball knowledge and experience and offers an exclusive inside look at the University of Kentucky men’s basketball program. The cost will remain unchanged at $100.
 
Each participant will be guaranteed a small group picture with the entire Kentucky men’s basketball team. Participants will be able to download their picture for free for digital or print use after the clinic.
 
Always one of the highlights of the clinic, participants will have the opportunity to purchase panel basketballs. Attendees will be able to request basketballs for purchase during the online registration process but the number of basketballs available is limited. Up to two basketballs will be guaranteed for purchase and then any remaining will be made available to those who request more than two basketballs. The only items that will be guaranteed to be signed by UK personnel are the basketballs requested during registration. Clinic attendees will be allowed to bring one additional item to be signed by Coach Calipari only during registration from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
 
Check-in for the Women’s Clinic will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 29. Participants should enter the main gates of Rupp Arena off High Street for registration.
 
Parking is free and will be available in the High Street lot. Entrance to the parking lot is through Gate 1. Attendees must park in a legal parking spot.
 
Registration is available online. Interested participants are encouraged to sign up as soon as possible due to limited spots available. The past six clinics have been sold out.
 
Throughout the designated check-in time, attendees can enjoy a self-guided tour of Rupp Arena, including the UK men’s basketball locker room. Men’s basketball staff members will be stationed throughout the facility for directions and questions. Also during registration and the clinic, concession stands will be open to purchase food and beverages.
 
Following check-in, the women’s clinic will begin at 1 p.m. with the introduction of the 2017-18 UK men’s basketball team. Also included are scheduled presentations by staff and players on the inner workings of the program, as well as a Q & A with Calipari, UK coaches and staff members.
 
Attendees are encouraged to wear comfortable attire (athletic shoes) and participate in activities and presentations at their own risk.
 
This clinic is open to women only. Recruitable-age females (currently in grades 7-12) are NOT permitted to register for or attend the clinic, per NCAA rules.
 
Once you have completed the registration process, you will receive a confirmation email with an itinerary. You will receive reminder emails with additional details of the event.
 
Any clinic-related questions can be answered by calling into the men’s basketball camp line at 859-257-9457 or 859-257-1916.
