UST Summer Girls' Basketball Camp

January 30, 2008

2008 Tommie Pride Summer Basketball Camp

The purpose is to provide a positive experience by combining interactive activities geared around basketball both on and off the court. Our goal is to leave the campers with skill development, an increased confidence in both basketball and themselves, and most importantly a memorable experience. Tommie Pride Camp is run by experienced, positive, caring role models who know the game of basketball and how to teach it to all levels of ability. More importantly, we take great pride in providing a lasting experience for our campers. We use qualified and enthusiastic coaches and UST Women’s basketball players. They will assist the UST coaching staff during each session of the St. Thomas Tommie Pride Basketball Camps. Our campers will have the opportunity to work one on one with great role models who have participated in the game at the high school and collegiate levels.
