Camp season is coming to an end as the school year approaches, but for young, aspiring basketball players, there are some appealing opportunities beginning Saturday with our local NBA star.
- Boston Celtics standout Robert Williams III is returning to his North Caddo Magnet High School alma mater Saturday to host a clinic and school supply giveaway. The clinic for grades 6-to-8 is 8 a.m. – noon; the clinic for high school players is noon – 4 p.m.
- Evangel will host a Back-to-School Basketball Camp for ages 7-to-16 Friday, July 29, from 9 a.m. – noon. There will be free food and entertainment, games and activities, and campers will work on fundamentals and skill development. For more information, contact Judy Meller, 318.393.3785.
- The Bossier Parish Community College basketball program will host a Prospect Camp Aug. 3 from noon-2 p.m.. The following day, Aug. 4, BPCC will host a Rising Seniors Camp from 2-4. Both camps will be held at Airline High School. Cost for the Prospect Camp is $55. Cost for the Rising Senior Camp will be $40. To register online visit the anglinbasketballcamps.com website.
“We’re still looking to fill roster spots,” said Bossier Parish CC coach J.A. Anglin. “This Prospect Camp is a tryout, basically. We know there are some young kids out there who aren’t getting the looks from the bigger schools, and hopefully we will be able to fill the couple of the spots we have remaining.”
For Anglin and his staff, the goal is different for the Rising Senior Camp.
“That camp will be an opportunity for us to look at the Class of 2023,” Anglin said. “Recruiting never stops.”
