Please note that it is not required to bring a basketball to camp as they are provided by the staff for camp instruction.
Camper Evaluation
Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. In addition, campers will be evaluated and then split up into smaller groups according to age and ability. Parents are invited to attend the closing ceremony! Departure immediately following.
Transportation
Transportation is not provided by the camp to or from any airports. If you are flying to or from camp, we recommend using an airport shuttle service. Please schedule flights as close as you can to the check-in times on the first day and check-out times on the last day.
UMW Disclaimer
Due to the risks associated with lithium ion batteries causing fires when charging or using hover boards, the University of Mary Washington prohibits hover boards on campus.
Information Packet
A detailed camper information packet containing check in location, health/release forms, emergency contact numbers, and a checklist of things to bring will be emailed to all registered campers in the Spring. The US Sports Camps health and release forms do not require a doctor's signature and they will be collected on the first day of camp.
Scholarships
We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.
*Please note, this information is subject to change.

Best experience for my daughter's first camp!
July 18, 2016: The staff and coaches made my experience as a first-time camp parent sending a child to camp relaxed. They knew my daughter by name and encouraged her and the rest of the kids in any way they could. They also not only corrected her in fundamentals but also showed her the correct way to do it. Great experience and can't wait to see her grow in her skill even more next summer!
