September 10, 2014

Does your son or daughter dream of playing in the NBA or the WNBA? The Nike Pre-Draft Camp is an incredible opportunity to help your kids on their path to basketball greatness! Coming to Rocky Top Sports World at the end of September, this one day intensive course was designed by Nike to help aspiring young athletes reach their full potential on the court. Read on to learn everything you need to know about this exciting basketball event in Gatlinburg.

What is Nike Pre-Draft Basketball Camp?

Nike Pre-Draft Camp provides a day of professional quality coaching and training for basketball players in middle school and high school. PDC teaches the same techniques and concepts used at the exclusive Nike Skills Academies hosted by NBA greats like LeBron James, Paul Pierce, and Kobe Bryant. Unlike the Nike Skills Academies, however, Pre-Draft Camp is open to the general public, not just elite high schools and colleges.

At Nike Pre-Draft Camp, young players will take advantage of:

Practice techniques that cultivate superior performance.

Individualized feedback and instruction from Nike coaches.
