August 3rd - 5th // at the o’Malley center
Local Alaskan talent convenes in one place for a back to school skill camp and 3v3 tournament! This camp is designed to give players a high quality experience where our experienced and knowledgeable coaching staff with teach for the first 90 minutes, and then the kids will compete in 3v3 games the last 90 minutes. This fast paced combination accelerates growth, builds camaraderie, and enhances love for the game. This camp is not recommended for beginner players.
Camp format this year will envelop a slightly wider age range per session, creating two age divisions per camp. For the morning group, a 3rd/4th grade division and 5th/6th division will compete in the 3v3 games, and the afternoon group will have two, possibly three, divisions depending on sign up numbers.
Our coaching staff may decide to place athletes outside of their age division if a different division is a better fit based on their abilities.
EARLY BIRD SPECIAL ENDS JUNE 15TH
MORNING GROUP: 3rd - 6th Grade Session // 9:00 - 12:00pm
Sign up either with a team of 4 players or as a free agent! Our coaching staff will place you on a team with other free agents, or, in rare cases, we may need to add free agents to existing teams and reserve the right to do so but only if we think it in the best interest of all players.
AFTERNOON GROUP: 7th - 12th Grade Session // 1:00 - 4:00pm

A state-wide language
Basketball is a language spoken in every region of our state. It is a powerful tool to help young people learn and grow in areas of leadership, confidence, work ethic, discipline, resilience, commitment, good decision making, and many other positive outcomes.
“I have been coaching and running camps for the past 27 years and Coach Horn is one of the best clinicians I have worked with. Her unique combination of knowledge and ability to teach separate her from others. As great a trainer as she is, she is a better human being. Coach Horn genuinely cares about those she works with and is committed to helping everyone reach their full potential from a physical, mental, and skill standpoint. Her compassion, sense of humor and concern go far beyond helping a person get into better shape or dribble a basketball better.”
Coach Frank Ostanik, University of Alaska Fairbanks Men’s Head Coach
