Hopkinsville, 2600 Thomas St, Hopkinsville, KY 42240, USA
About the event
We are so excited to announce that registration for our very first-ever Buddy Basketball Camp is now available! We are partnering with the Pennyroyal Center and TRACE Industries to bring a three-day basketball camp for special needs and disabled children this July.
The camp will feature basic instruction on the foundations of basketball: dribbling, shooting, passing, etc. The "Buddy" aspect allows each camper to walk through the lessons at their own pace and with a dedicated volunteer. The camp is open to children ages 6 to 12 and will be held at the Planters Bank-Jennie Stuart Health Sportsplex Hopkinsville.
We are also looking for basketball coaches and other volunteers to help us make this a successful event. Registration for campers and volunteers is available at the Thomas Street Recreation Center. Give us a call at 270-887-4290 if you have any questions or would like more information.
