Summer Wheelchair Sports Camps: Basketball

The Summer Wheelchair Sports Camps are hosted by the Division of Rehabilitation-Education Services at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. These are intensive skill-building camps designed to promote athletic skill and fitness in the young wheelchair athlete. They provide the opportunity for young athletes to improve their individual skills, and, in the case of basketball, their team skills as well. All skill levels from beginner to advanced are accepted. Campers will be placed in groups according to skill level. Participants reside in University of Illinois dormitories. Camps are open to all young people with lower extremity disabilities who have good use of their upper bodies. Campers must be able to independently care for all their daily living activities (bathing, dressing, etc.). Camps are staffed by the U. of I. wheelchair coaches and other prominent wheelchair coaches from across the country. U. of I. wheelchair athletes serve as counselors and junior staff.

In the summer of 2004, four wheelchair basketball camps will be held:

The Elite Camp (by invitation only) is July 10-15.

The Team Camp is July 15-19.

The Illinois High School Association Camp and 10-14 year old age group camp is July 24-29.
