The Bishop McCort Youth Basketball Camps offer both boys and the girls entering grades 4 through 8 the opportunity to become the next generation of Crushers on the hardwood. The Camps are designed to provide a fun, challenging, and educational basketball experience through instruction and competition designed to address the age and maturity of the camper. Each player will be coached throughout the week with a staff recognized for their ability to teach basketball in an enthusiastic and safe way. It is our hope that each young athlete will leave our camp with the tools to become a better basketball player and the fond memories of a positive, fun-filled week.
