Kentucky basketball schedules two new satellite camps in Laurel and Russell Counties

Camp season is upon us for Kentucky basketball — and there are two new satellite options for families to enjoy in the coming weeks. We know about Mark Pope’s Father/Son and Father/Daughter Camps scheduled for this weekend, the former coming on June 7 and the latter on June 8.

Up next? Satellite camps in both Laurel and Russell Counties, registration now open for both camps, which will be presented by White, Greer and Maggard Orthodontics.

Those camps will take place on back-to-back days later this month, starting in Laurel County on June 20, followed by Russell County on June 21. The best part? Cost of admission is FREE with availability on a first-come, first-served basis.

Interested in participating? Registration is open HERE with a limited number of spots available. Online registration recommended as the fastest and most efficient form of registering campers.

What can participants expect at camp? Certified athletic trainers will be stationed at each site throughout the weekend, along with UK basketball staff members to accommodate any questions or concerns. UK’s goal is to ensure a safe and fun environment, providing all campers the opportunity to maximize their Kentucky basketball experience.

Once a camper’s registration is complete, the camper will receive a confirmation email with details of necessary documents needed (physical, insurance), along with a list of items campers will need to bring for camp. Any camp-related questions can be called into the men’s basketball camp line at 859-257-9457 or 859-257-1916 or by email at [email protected].

The University of Kentucky’s camps and clinics are open to any and all entrants (limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender). NCAA rules prohibit payment of camp expenses (camp tuition, transportation, spending money, etc.) for prospects (seventh grade and above) by University of Kentucky donors. For men’s basketball, a prospect is an individual who has started classes for the seventh grade. NCAA rules also prohibit free or reduced camp admissions for prospects. If you have any questions, notify camp officials prior to attending camp.

We’ll see you there, BBN!
