Summer heat in South Texas brings more than just sunshine to Uvalde; it also brings a packed schedule of athletic camps organized by the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District. From June through July, the district will host a variety of programs designed to introduce young athletes to fundamental skills, team dynamics and the joy of competition.
Girls Basketball Camp Takes the Court
The first camp, a girls’ basketball session, runs from June 9 to June 11 and is open to students entering fourth grade through ninth grade. Each day runs from 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., offering a focused yet fun environment for participants to develop shooting, dribbling and defensive techniques under the guidance of head coach Michael Garza.
Registration for the basketball camp is priced at $20 per child, with an additional $10 fee for each sibling who joins the session. This modest cost reflects the district’s commitment to keeping extracurricular opportunities accessible to all families.
Wrestling and Tennis Sessions Follow
Later in the month, the district will open a wrestling camp from June 15 to June 17, meeting daily from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The program emphasizes technique, conditioning and match strategy, catering to a range of weight classes and experience levels.
A tennis camp will also take place from June 15 to June 18, held each morning from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the Terri Rambie Tennis Complex, where youngsters can refine their serve, rally and court positioning on well‑maintained facilities.
July Offerings and Community Call
Beyond June, the district has scheduled a full slate of additional camps for July, including boys basketball, cheer fest, softball, baseball, volleyball and football. Each sport brings its own curriculum, but all share a common goal: to foster athletic growth while reinforcing values such as teamwork, discipline and sportsmanship.
Parents and guardians interested in enrolling their children can secure spots by calling 830‑591‑4991, where staff members are ready to answer questions and provide registration details. The district also encourages community members to recognize the volunteers and staff who make these programs possible, including Lilia Delgado, Madelynn Mize, Ken Childs, Cheyenne Mueller and Sandra Sanchez, who contribute their time and expertise across the various camps.
