Mavs Academy to Host In-Person Summer Camps

DALLAS, TX – After a year of virtual events, Mavs Academy, in partnership with Chick-fil-A DFW, will host in-person summer camps for the first time since Summer 2019. The Academy will bring back Hoop Camp, Dance Camp, Development Camp, Gaming Camp, and the inaugural addition of an All-Girls Hoop Camp. Mavs Academy will continue to monitor the guidelines from various government orders, health experts and the NBA to develop appropriate protocols (which may include social distancing, mask wearing, and sanitization) for the camps. The current guidelines allow in-person camps to be held at 50% capacity, with virtual camp options available.

Mavs Academy camps are open to boys and girls of all skill levels in the 7-18 age range with prices varying depending on the camp. Each camp will be hosted by Mavs Academy coaches and staff, where campers have the option to participate in virtual or in-person training sessions. During virtual sessions, breakout rooms will be incorporated in certain camps so Mavs Academy coaches can focus on smaller groups of campers at a time.

Athletes participating in Hoop Camp will learn important fundamentals, sportsmanship and the excitement of the game in a fun atmosphere. Development Camp will use advanced training methods to teach skills that transcend from practice court to game competition. Mavs Dance Camps will teach athletes to build self-confidence while improving dance technique. Gaming campers will learn video fundamentals, with the opportunity to engage in tournament play at the end of camp. The All-Girls Hoop Camp, in coordination with GEM (Girls Empowered by Mavericks), will offer basketball fundamental training for girls learning new skills and drills.

Registration is now open! Parents can find additional information and registration for camp at Mavs.com/Academy.
