COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The future of USA Basketball will be on display at a special minicamp over the Memorial Day weekend.
The USA Basketball Men’s Junior National Team will conduct a minicamp with 24 athletes from May 27-30 at Strake Jesuit College Prep in Houston. The minicamp roster was selected by the USA Basketball Developmental National Team Committee.
“Like most organizations, USA Basketball was not able to have our annual USA Basketball Men’s Junior National Team camps in 2020, and the committee felt it was important to get these young athletes to one of our camps, so that we can help them understand what USA Basketball is about, what values are important to us and what we are looking for in team members,” said Sean Ford, committee chair and USA Basketball Men’s National Team director.
