The Shock will hold their first “Positions Camp” Monday August 11 in Traverse City at the Traverse City West High School from 1:00 p.m.- 4:00 p.m. Campers ages 6-18 will enjoy first-hand instructions from their favorite Shock players and coaches.

Hosted by Donease Smith from the Shock Year-Round Hoops Program along with Shock players and coaches, campers will learn position-based training and go through the same drills that have helped the Shock become two-time WNBA champions.

Along with sharpening their skills, campers will be treated to a variety of other activities including contests and motivational talks. Each camper will be treated to a free Shock t-shirt and get to take part in a meet-and-greet with players and coaches at the conclusion of the clinic. Participants will also receive two free tickets to see the Shock take on the Indiana Fever September 5 at The Palace, the Shock’s second home game after the Olympic break.

Cost of the camp is $75. For more information on the Shock Positions Camp or to register, call Carley Knox at (248) 377-8614 or e-mail at cknox@palacenet.com. Registration forms can be completed online by clicking here.
