The 2015 Ghana Basketball and Leadership Camp will now take place from Tuesday August 18-25, organizers have confirmed.
The one-week event initially billed to place start on Friday August 14-22, has now been moved forward.
Organisers decided to move the date forward due to the growing demand from parents to afford them enough time to ensure their wards are enrolled in the hugely-anticipated camp in the capital.
“We had to move the camp forward because we have several parents who are anxious to register their kids,” camp coordinator Cassandra Addo said.
“In our quest to ensure we afford them the chance to get their kids registered, we have decided to move the camp forward.
“There are other internal issues that we’re looking at as well. So far patronage has been exciting and we look forward to an exciting time with our American coach Moses Harris.
The Pentecost University College will play host to the seven-day exercise which has already generated massive interest among young basketball players in the West African country.
Interested basketball players between the ages of 10-19 are expected to camp for a week for an exciting and unique basketball experience that will benefit them immensely towards their growth and development.
The one-week camping exercise for boys and girls, expected to take in August will provide the platform for these players to learn the fundamentals of the game including shooting, dribbling, rebounding, screening, offense, defense and ball handling amongst other skills.
This will undoubtedly enhance their understanding and appreciation of the game while equipping them with some essential life skills.
Accomplished businessmen and women will take the kids through the art of building self-confidence, self-respect, teamwork, communication amongst others.
It is a whole new experience intended to help these players to step up in class as they will learn new adventures away from home. Players will also get the chance to play series of matches and engage in fun activities during the camp.
