☀️ July is here and the countdown to this summer’s ultimate basketball experience is ON!

We are just weeks away from hitting the court in Bromsgrove for the ultimate summer basketball experience, and the energy is already building!

Take a look at these smiles from our past camps - this is what it’s all about. Incredible coaching, personal growth and memories that last a lifetime.

If you want to be part of it this August, you need to act fast. We have two back-to-back elite camps lined up, but spaces are now extremely limited:

🌟 Week 1: Hakeem Olajuwon International Summer Camp
📅 When: Sunday 9th August – Friday 14th August

⚡ Week 2: Rockets Summer Performance Camp
🧠 With: Coach Charles Smith

📅 When: Sunday 16th August – Friday 21st August

🚨 DON'T MISS OUT: July is going to fly by, and once these final spots are gone, they are gone.
