Basketball School will soon be in session.
Registrations are now being taken for one of the North Okanagan’s longest running and popular basketball camps.
Hoops and Hustle returns to Vernon’s Clarence Fulton Secondary School July 2-5.
“This will be the 34th summer of the successful Hoops and Hustle Basketball Camp offered by Clarence Fulton. Hoops and Hustle is a camp that teaches basketball fundamentals and therefore could be better described as ‘Basketball School,’” said camp director Dale Olson, head coach of the Fulton Maroons’ senior boys teams.
“Over the years we have attempted to bring in the best “master teachers” available and as a result our camp has been instructed by head coaches from UBC, SFU, UVIC, Eastern Washington, Whitworth, Seattle Pacific University.

“The results have been phenomenal as many provincial-level players have emerged from this camp. We are very fortunate to have basketball coaches of such high calibre who are willing to come to our community and help build our basketball program.”
