Nansemond River head basketball coach Ed Young will conduct the ninth annual Youngstarz Basketball Camp on June 24-27 at Nansemond River High School.

The camp will teach the basic skills of the game to anyone from anywhere who is a rising third- through eighth-grader, both boys and girls. It will give them the opportunity to play 1-on-1, 2-on-2, 3-on-3 and 5-on-5.

The camp will emphasize shooting and team concepts like fast break basketball, the difference between man-to-man and zone defense and spacing on offense.

There will be a daily classroom session training kids on how to be better players, students and people.

The teams playing 5-on-5 each afternoon will be co-ed, organized by age and switched up each day.

Instructors helping Young will include past and current Warriors players like Michael Copeland, Chris McMillian, Ed Drew, Kendric Washington, Cristian Alexander and Devon Oakley.

The cost for participation is $100 per camper, with a reduced amount for two or more from the same family.

Total number of campers will be limited to around 60 to prevent over-crowding.

The camp runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and kids must bring a lunch or have money to purchase food that will be provided.
