NIKE Pre-Draft Basketball Camp coming to Ames, IA

In 2012, Nike is holding a series of Pre-Draft Camps throughout the United States for basketball players. We are excited to announce that Ames, IA is one of those locations! 

Nike Pre-Draft Camp (PDC) presented by Nike Elite Youth Basketball is an opportunity for kids to experience workouts and skills training that before now, were only eligible to athletes at the higher levels of basketball. Participants are taken through multiple stations to work on things like ball-handling, shooting, and basketball scenarios aimed at increasing their basketball IQ. PDC is modeled after a variety of Nike Skills Academies hosted by LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Paul Pierce, Deron Williams, and Amar’e Stoudemire.

The camp is designed for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade basketball players, and according to Carlton DeBose, Nike’s Basketball’s Elite Youth Field Rep, “by putting kids in the Pre-Draft system, say in the 6th grade, we can work with them that year and also in the 7th and 8th grade too and that gives us three years to work with them at the earliest stages of their development.”

The Iowa camps are designed for 5th – 9th grade boys, and 5th – 12th grade girls.

Event:             Nike Pre-Draft Camp

 Date:               April 14 (boys only, 5^th – 9^th grade)

                         April 15 (girls only, 5^th – 12^th grade)

Location:        West Towne Courts

                        1005 Dickinson Ave
