2. Will the Players be there?
Current and former players and coaches are scheduled to appear during each week of camp (subject to availability).
3. Who are the instructors?
Our accomplished staff is comprised of a wide array of basketball backgrounds. Your child will receive instruction from a combination of the following: college and high school coaches, current and former college players, NBA clinicians, referees, personal trainers, semi and professional players and other basketball experts.
4. How are the campers divided during camp?
Campers are placed in groups according to their age, skill level, and experience. This is done to ensure that each child plays with others of a similar ability. Emphasis is placed on improving at one’s own pace while enjoying the excitement of the sport. We will try to accommodate group requests when possible, but cannot guarantee in an effort to keep teams fair and balanced.
5. What about lunch?
Each child will be responsible for bringing his or her own lunch. Pizza will no longer be offered for sale as in years past. Half-day camps do not include a lunch period but campers may still bring a light snack if they feel the need.
6. Do you provide before and after care?
We do not. Parents/guardians are asked to drop off and pick up their children promptly at the start and end of camp.
7. Do I need to bring anything to camp?
Campers should come dressed in basketball attire (shorts, sneakers, t-shirt). They need not bring basketballs or other equipment as we will have everything they need. Please leave all watches, jewelry and electronics (i.e.: ipods) at home as we cannot be responsible for such items. Do not bring any items to be autographed. Campers may of course bring any medication they may need.
8. How about overnight camps?
The Magic’s first annual overnight camp will be held from June 29th – July 3rd at Warner Southern College! Campers signing up for the overnight camp will receive an email with instructions on what to bring, when to drop off and pick up, etc. Girls and Boys will be housed in separate dorms and a full staff will be in place 24 hours a day.
9. Can parents stay and watch?
Of course! Parents are more than welcome to watch their children in action! And don’t forget to attend our weekly awards ceremonies that take place every Friday at 12:30pm!
10. Are scholarships available?
A limited number of scholarships are available. Scholarships are arranged through our Community Relations Department on a case-by-case basis to those families that can demonstrate financial need. Please
