NATE ROBINSON’S SKILLZ & DRILLZ YOUTH BASKETBALL CAMP

NEW YORK – Nate Robinson, the popular New York Knicks guard and former NBA Slam Dunk champion, debuts his first basketball camp August 20-25 at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Westchester in Mt. Kisco, New York.  The inaugural Nate Robinson Skillz & Drillz Youth Basketball Camp will focus instruction on shooting, rebounding, ball handling, defense and team building skills.  

Young hoopsters of all levels will learn from the best collection of local coaches as they provide individual attention to each participant.  Campers will receive certificates and a progress report from their team coach upon completion of the camp.  All participants are eligible for daily awards and receive a Nate Robinson camp T-shirt and autographed poster. 

“It’s been a goal of mine since I was a kid to put together my own youth basketball camp,” said Robinson. “I’m very excited to teach the kids the fundamentals of basketball and create a camp that brings them back year after year.”     

Two camp sessions take place August 20-22 (Monday-Wednesday) and August 23-25 (Thursday-Saturday) at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Westchester in Mt. Kisco, 351 Main Street.  Camp registration is open to boys and girls ages 6-16 at the cost of $325 per camper. Camp hours are 9:30 am to 3:30 pm with lunch provided.
