Former NBA swingman Danny Green is set to bring his love of the game to the streets of Laredo, Texas, with a free basketball camp scheduled for July 29.
The event, open to boys and girls from first through twelfth grade, will take place at a local high school gymnasium and promises a full day of drills, scrimmages, and skill‑building sessions.
Camp Details and Schedule
Participants can expect a structured curriculum that blends fundamental instruction with competitive play. The day will begin with warm‑up exercises, followed by station work focused on shooting, passing and defensive techniques. Mid‑morning will feature a 30‑minute question‑and‑answer session where Green will share anecdotes from his 15‑year NBA journey, and the afternoon will culminate in a friendly tournament.
Green, a three‑time NBA champion who won titles with the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Lakers, will also be available for photographs and autograph signings throughout the event. Organizers say the camp is part of a broader effort to promote youth sports and healthy lifestyles in underserved communities.
Sponsorship and Community Support
The camp is made possible through the generous sponsorship of Laredo Emergency Room, a local healthcare provider committed to the well‑being of the region’s families. “Supporting our youth on and off the court is a priority for us,” said a hospital spokesperson. The partnership underscores a growing trend of professional athletes collaborating with regional health institutions to foster community engagement.
Green’s history of returning to Laredo for charitable activities adds a personal touch to the camp. He has made several trips to the city over the years, using his platform to mentor young athletes and encourage academic achievement.
Beyond the basketball drills, the camp aims to instill values such as teamwork, discipline and perseverance. Parents have expressed enthusiasm, noting that the free access removes financial barriers that often limit participation in organized sports.
