HoopKidz/HoopElite Family-


It was a blazing July 2010! Record heat and humidity and great HoopKidz and HoopElite Camps. Our second session HoopKidz Camp in Bowie had great collection of kids and the most competitive Camp teams in a long time! Four games plus the Championship Game for Group 4/NBA were decided at the buzzer! A packed gymnasium saw Ahmad Clark (Bowie, MD Age 13) make a game winning three pointer with no time left on the clock. Special Thanks to all of our campers and their Parents for a great week! Special Thanks to Steve Riggins, Brand Jordan/Nike, Etan Thomas, Oklahoma Thunder and Guest Coach/Lecturer, Kevin Johnson, Philadelphia 76'ers...
