10 AFTER SCHOOL BASKETBALL PREP CAMP MAY :30PM - 6:30PM South Charlotte Middle School OPEN TO BOYS AND GIRLS The South Charlotte Sports Report is excited to offer a unique after school basketball prep camp at South Charlotte Middle School. Our staff of coaches, led by South Charlotte Middle School Head Coach Jason Otey, will lead basketball players through four exciting afternoons of basketball drills, games and competitions. The primary focus of each activity is to provide quality instruction that will prepare each player for the upcoming season. Over the last seven years, The South Charlotte Sports Report has hosted over 50 basketball camps. With each camp, we see more and more return customers. Plain and simple, our basketball camps focus on the development of basketball fundamentals. Without a strong fundamental base, a basketball player will be limited in how far they can advance. Each camper will receive instruction on shooting, moving without the ball, dribbling, defense, passing and rebounding. We maintain a low coach to camper ratio allowing the campers to get to know all the coaches on a first name basis. We also strive to keep campers in the same groups with their friends and other players their age. Our camps are designed to place campers in position to succeed inside the camp and beyond. The South Charlotte Sports Report Basketball Camp is also designed to provide players of all ages and abilities the chance to experience success on the basketball court! Look what these past campers had to say about the After School Basketball Camp at South Charlotte Middle School. I like Coach Otey's basketball camp for lots of reasons: It's fundamentally sound, teaching you the basics and improving on them. And Coach Otey works you really hard. The drills are demanding, fun and interesting. Besides my dad, he's the best coach I've ever had. It's my favorite basketball camp, and I've been to a lot of camps. -Zach Rabinowitz I like his camp because it teaches you all the things you need to know to become a great basketball player and it helps you to continually learn and get better. - Seth Rabinowitz Get ready for the basketball season with our After School Basketball Prep Camp!
