Camp Director John Carrick is always on the look-out for some future Bobcats and Lady Bobcats! This camp is a great chance to get a head start and learn the fundamentals of the game from the coaches themselves. The GCSU Pee Wee Camp has grown larger in each of its first fifteen seasons, and we are working to make it even bigger and better this year.

All sessions will be held in the air-conditioned Centennial Center arena on the Georgia College & State University campus in Milledgeville. Camp begins at 9am and concludes at 4pm each day, and parents are welcome at any time throughout the day. REGISTRATION AND CHECK IN WILL BEGIN AT 8:30am ON MONDAY AT THE CENTENNIAL CENTER.

Coaching and instruction will be given by GCSU players and high school coaches. Players are put into one of two leagues: College League for 6-to-8 year olds, and Pro League for 9-10 year olds.

Lunch will be served in the campus dining hall, and is included in the camp price. Fruit breaks will be provided each morning, and an ice cream bar will be provided for parents and campers on Friday afternoon. In addition, each camper will receive a free t-shirt and Bobcat Basketball.

Come out, join the fun, and learn a lot about basketball, too!
