A summer tradition is set to roll into Ocean Springs as the Willis Brownlee Basketball Camp opens its doors for another year of skill‑building and confidence‑boosting for young athletes.
Camp Overview
The camp will run from July 18 through July 19 at a local venue in Ocean Springs, welcoming boys and girls between the ages of six and fourteen. Organizers have designed the schedule to blend intensive drills with plenty of game‑like scenarios, ensuring that participants walk away with measurable improvements in their basketball abilities.
Leadership and Focus
Former NBA player and Ocean Springs native Willis Brownlee will serve as the camp’s head instructor. Drawing on his professional experience, Brownlee will guide campers through fundamental techniques, reinforce the importance of teamwork, and model sportsmanship both on and off the court. His personal connection to the community adds a motivational layer that resonates with the participants.
Beyond skill development, the camp places a strong emphasis on building self‑confidence. Through structured feedback and positive reinforcement, Brownlee aims to help each athlete recognize their potential and carry that assurance into other areas of their lives.
Registration
Registration for the camp is now open, but spaces are limited. Interested families are encouraged to secure their spots early to avoid disappointment, as the program’s popularity has consistently filled the available slots each year.
