Camp Details
Arrive around noon on the first day of camp and depart before noon on the last listed day of camp.
Training sessions focus on learning and using fundamental wheelchair sports principles in a fun and challenging environment. Basic wheelchair sport skills are developed along with goal setting, mental training, age appropriate conditioning programming and nutritional/lifestyle awareness. Campers are encouraged to set personal goals for their time at the wheelchair basketball camps and share these goals with their instructors. At UT Arlington we believe that a holistic approach to developing healthy and confident athletes will contribute to long-term success both on the court as future athletes and off the court as students and members of the community.
