Operation UNITE Basketball Camp
PAINTSVILLE Johnson County will play host to the first of six regional Operation UNITE Shoot Hoops Not Drugs basketball camps to be held this summer.
Presented by Phoenix Products, the free three-hour clinics teach school-age youth fundamental basketball skills while emphasizing the importance for them to stay drug-free.
³Success on the court, just like success in life, means developing the right skills and making the right choices,² said Jeff Sheppard, a former University of Kentucky basketball star who will conduct these camps for the third year.
The Shoot Hoops Not Drugs camp begins at 4 p.m. on Thursday, June 12, at Johnson Central High School, 257 North Mayo Trail, Paintsville. Please plan to arrive about 30 minutes early to register.
All participants will receive a specially-designed event T-shirt, regulation autographed Shoot Hoops Not Drugs basketball, and be entered into a drawing for portable basketball goals to be given away at each location. Hot dogs and drinks will be provided.
Participants are asked not to wear open-toe shoes or sandals.
