Nevada Tigers head basketball coach John McNeley announced Tuesday that his program's annual boys' basketball camp is to be held June 10-14, inside Wynn Gymnasium at Nevada High School.

The camp is open to any students entering third through eighth grades in the 2013-14 school year. Each participant will receive 7 1/2 hours of instruction on the fundamentals of shooting, ball handling, rebounding, passing, defense and team play.

Each participant in the camp will receive a T-shirt.

Sessions will run from 1-2:30 p.m., for third and fourth graders, 2:45-4:15 p.m., for fifth and sixth graders, and 4:30-6 p.m., for seventh and eighth graders. Times may be earlier on the camp's final day, McNeley said.

Prizes donated by professional and college teams will be awarded to participants in individual shooting and ball handling contests. A "camper of the day" will also be recognized every day for the duration of the camp.

The camp fee is $35.00 per youngster and registration can be completed during the first day, June 10. Prizes will be awarded for the Hot Shot, Free Throw, Beat the Clock and Dribble Tag contests.
