Brandon Miller, the 23‑year‑old forward who grew up in Antioch and now stars for the Charlotte Hornets, is turning his off‑court passion into a community event. The NBA player is organizing a two‑day youth basketball camp in Nashville, inviting middle‑schoolers to hone their skills on the court.
Police and Foundation Join Forces
The camp is scheduled for June 26 and 27 at Cane Ridge High School, where participants will receive instruction from Miller and members of the Hornets’ development staff. Space is limited to more than 100 kids entering seventh and eighth grades, and registration is open to anyone interested in improving their game.
Metro Nashville Police officers have partnered with Miller to help coordinate logistics and to emphasize the importance of safety and teamwork on the court. Their involvement underscores a broader effort to build trust between law enforcement and the neighborhoods they serve.
The event is being run by the Team Miller Foundation, a nonprofit created by the player to provide athletic opportunities and mentorship to youth in the region. Foundation representatives say the camp reflects a commitment to giving back to the communities that supported his rise.
Beyond basketball drills, the camp will include workshops on leadership, nutrition and sportsmanship, aiming to equip participants with lessons that extend far beyond the gym. Organizers hope the initiative will inspire similar programs across the state.
