Heads up, parents and guardians in St. Louis Park: if your kids are looking to up their game on the basketball court, there's a prime opportunity just around the corner. The City of St. Louis Park has announced a few remaining openings in their upcoming basketball camp, perfect for young hoop enthusiasts ready to work on their jump shot or master the pick-and-roll.
The camp is designed for all levels of players, so whether your child is just starting out or already knows their way around the key, there's a place for them. It runs from August 18th to August 22nd, with sessions held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. A spectrum of skills will be covered, from ball handling and dribbling to defensive strategies and rebounding, as detailed in a recent social media post from the city.
Program organizers are promising to split groups by age, skill level, and experience, ensuring that each participant gets the attention they need to improve. "Your little ones will work on ball handling, dribbling, layup footwork, shooting techniques, defesnive skills, contesting shots, boxing out and rebounding," the City of St. Louis Park post states, promising a comprehensive experience on the court.
Registration is open until Friday, August 15 at 8 a.m., so time is of the essence. Parents keen on enrolling their kids can visit the city’s website and sign up at a dedicated link.

Just remember, as great as it is to encourage the next generation of athletes, nothing beats the age-old tradition of one-on-one driveway practice—no camp necessary.
