2025 Recap
AUGUST 4TH - 8TH
DAY 1
The first day of camp. The campers' nerves were high as they were about to showcase their skills in front of multiple D1 basketball players and high-level coaches. But at the same time, the vibes were high too.
It was a dream for some of them to play with their favorite players and talk casually with them. The day started great with warm-ups instructed by Rudy Mays (NC Basketball Staff Member). Shortly after we transitioned into stations, each age group would rotate to each coach's station. The coaches could give them direct feedback early into the camp. After stations, we established three leagues.
The high school league was for the youngest set of campers (8-10 years old). The college league was for campers of the ages 10-12. Finally, the NBA was for players ages 13-14. Within each league 3 or 4 teams. The campers played a few practice games with their teams before heading over to lunch in Talley Student Union. After lunch, which was sponsored by Empire Eats, the campers awaited the day one guest speaker Ben Middlebrooks.
After learning about his journey, the campers lined up for pictures and autographs. Day One was then wrapped up with some scrimmage games with their teams!
DAY 2
The second day of camp started off very similarly. The campers did a warm-up, and quickly transitioned into their stations. Right after stations, similar to yesterday, they split into their groups to scrimmage before lunch.
For day two, the campers enjoyed Chick-fil-A. After lunch, guest speakers Trey Parker and Breon Pass were interviewed by Casey Morsell.
After the interview, campers could ask whatever questions they wanted. After questions, the chance to take a picture with the two or sign an autograph was given. Shortly after pictures and autographs, the campers transitioned into more scrimmages to end the day. Overall, today's vibes were HIGH!
