Basketball camp for athletes with special needs

Greg Brittenham, former NBA assistant coach with the New York Knicks, will be in town to run his “I Did. You Can.” basketball camp 9 a.m.-noon Sept. 3-5 at the Juneau-Douglas High School gym.

The camp is free. For more information or to pre-register, please contact Janette Gagnon at 321-6584 Janette.gagnon@juneauschools.org. Volunteers are still needed for the camp. Please contact Gagnon or camp director Brittenham at 203-969-5235 or gdotbritt@gmail.com.

With a ratio of one coach per three athletes, I Did. You Can. is distinctively positioned to provide abundant opportunity for all participants to develop self-esteem, fundamental movement patterns, balance, body control, spatial awareness, eye-hand and eye-foot coordination, socialization, confidence and basketball skills, all within a safe, fun and supportive environment.

Volunteers will include members of the JDHS state champion boys basketball team.
