FAQ
Parents ask...
How much does it cost?
Nothing! Camp is completely free for every camper, in every grade. Just register to save a spot.
What ages can sign up?
The Future Hornet Camp is for 3rd and 4th graders. Times will be announced closer to Christmas Break. Older players can ask about helper roles.
Do I need basketball experience?
Nope! Campers are grouped by skill level so everyone gets the right amount of challenge — beginners get the fundamentals, more experienced players get pushed. The focus is skill development and having fun.
What will my camper actually learn?
Footwork, ball-handling, passing, shooting form, finishing at the rim, on-ball defense, and how to play as a team. Each station is run by a coach and built around fast reps so kids feel themselves getting better in real time.
What does my camper get?
Coaching, fun contests, a take-home basketball, and new friends!
