See below for the correct dates and locations. We will do both indoor and outdoor basketball activities.

I'm a huge fan of Dream Big Basketball Camps and Clinics. Using a variety of drills Coach George and Keri teach the kids the right way to play the game. It's refreshing to see a focus on fundamental things like shooting and ball handling. We are lucky to have them in the Lake Norman area.
