Are you ready for some NOAH Basketball Camps?
I hope so because the NOAH Skills and Shooting camps begin Monday at the First United Methodist Church of Tulsa’s Youth & Family Center with instruction from the Price brothers, including NOAH's own Matt Price and his brothers Mark and Brent.
Brent, who once scored 56 points in a game for the OU Sooners (second most in school history to only Wayman Tisdale) and who holds the NBA record for most consecutive three-pointers made with 13 in a row, will be serving as the lead instructor during the Skills Camp throughout the entire week.
Mark, now on the staff with the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and a four-time NBA All-Star, is known as one of the game's greatest shooters. He will be joining us Thursday as the lead instructor for the Shooting Camp, where he will be teaching the same techniques and drills that he uses with college and pro players.
The boys sessions of the Skills Camp will be 9 a.m.-noon, Monday through Thursday.
The girls sessions are 1-4 p.m., Monday through Wednesday. IMPORTANT NOTE: All NOAH girls are also invited to attend the 9 a.m.-noon session on Thursday morning, stay for lunch that day (see note below), and then participate in the Shooting Camp from 1-4 p.m. (if they have signed up to do so).
The Shooting Camp (for all boys and girls) is 1-4 p.m., Thursday.
When you arrive on Monday (boys in the morning and girls in the afternoon), there will be two tables with information for everyone. One table will be for checking in those who have already registered and those who want to register, and a second table will be a concessions bank.
We are going to allow parents to pay into a concessions bank on Monday for all concessions for the week, and that way the kids won't have to bring money with them each day. We will have drinks (Gatorade, flavored water, bottled water, etc.) and snacks (candy bars, chips, etc.) that will be available during a short break each day.
The options at the concessions stand will be:
1) any drink for $1, or
2) a drink and a snack for $1.75.
For Thursday, after the morning session is finished and before the afternoon Shooting Camp begins, we will be offering a Mazzio's pizza lunch plan ($4 for two pieces of pizza and a drink, and $1 for each additional piece of pizza).
We ask that you pay for all concessions and the pizza lunch plan when you arrive Monday, as this will give us an idea of how many pizzas we will need to order for Thursday.
Most of you reading this have already registered, but if you haven't there are still a limited number of spots available. Please call me today at 906-4377 to reserve a spot.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the kids involved in the NOAH basketball program to receive instruction from some of the best players in not only the history of Oklahoma basketball but also the history of the NBA. Please don't miss out!
Have a great weekend, and we'll see everyone Monday!
Go Jags!
