DAYTON – The University of Dayton will host boys' basketball camps in July for players as young as four years old, up to players who will be entering the seventh grade.
This year's Skills and Competition Camps will concentrate on skill development and not involve standard five-on-five games. They will incorporate the skill breakdowns of: ball-handling, passing, finishing, shooting, and footwork, and competitions highlight the use and improvement of those skills in a fun and interactive way.
The Shooting Clinic will emphasize proper shooting mechanics and teach campers a variety of drills that they can use to improve this facet of their game. Campers will learn how to develop a shooting program routine that is similar to what the Dayton Flyers use as part of their skill development program.
One of the most popular camps each summer, the Junior Flyers Camp offers younger campers an opportunity to experience Dayton basketball first-hand. Focusing on the fundamentals of basketball and having fun, this camp hopes to create a "passion to play" in young players.
All camps will be based out of the Frericks Center in the heart of UD's campus.

Camps will have safety measures based on reviewing the most current guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Ohio Department of Health, Public Health, the City of Dayton, Montgomery County, and other federal, state and local agencies. Each camp will monitor any shifts in the national or local health landscape that will influence camp protocols at that time (e.g. masks, social distancing, symptom checking, etc.). All COVID-related protocols will be communicated no less than 72 hours prior to the beginning of each camp. University of Dayton policies may be more stringent than those of public health agencies.
If camps are canceled for any reason(s), camp tuitions will be fully refunded, minus the registration processing fee. Payments can also be allocated towards future camps. Documented health issues that preclude attendance will be the only refundable circumstances.
All University of Dayton camps and clinics are open to any and all entrants regardless of high school or club affiliation, and are only limited by the number, age, grade level, or gender described.
