So Many Camps, So Little Time:
Youth Basketball Camps--(June 10, 2002)

Not every basketball camp is an "exposure" event. Some are real teaching camps, others are simply places for kids to congregate during the hot summer months to work on their games, have fun and stay out of trouble. We don't pretend to know about all of the camps taking place in SoCal this summer, and there will be literally hundreds, but it's been a while since we last updated our "camp" links (look at the left hand side of the site) so we thought we'd at least put the word out about a few of the camps we've been hearing about recently. Here's a couple of camps that will be good for young kids who want to work on their games and improve their skills. More to follow....
