LAWTON, Okla. – The Lawton-Fort Sill Cavalry are hosting the Cavs Spring Break Basketball Camp Mar 17 and 18 at Cameron University’s Fitness Center.

Children ages 5-12 can sign up for the camp and be coached by 4 time NBA All-Star and 2 time CBA Champion Cavs Head Coach Michael Ray Richardson.

Cavs co-owner Michael Brown said that the Cavs wanted to offer parents a fun alternative for Spring Break.

            “Parents can drop their kids off at our camp to learn the fundamentals of basketball with Coach Richardson,” Brown said. “It is a way to encourage kids to be active and have fun at the same time.”

            Camp for children ages 5-8 is from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Camp for children ages 9-12 is from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Children from both camps can watch the Cavs players practice in between sessions.

            Coach Richardson said that he wanted to give the kids a chance to see how professional athletes practice and how they work as a team.

            “We want to have fun with the kids and teach them important lessons they can use both on and off the court,” Coach Richardson said. “We want the kids to understand how essential teamwork is to being successful.”

The camp fee is $35 for one day or $60 for both days. Campers will receive a Cavs t-shirt and a $5 gift card to LOL.

            Parents can register their children at the Cavs office located in Central Mall next to Adventure Travel. Parents must bring the registration form and the release form with them to the camp to turn in. Parents can also pay the camp fee at the Cavs office or on the first day of the camp.
