Dallas Mavericks to Host First-Ever Virtual Camps

Mavs Academy hosting hoop, dance, basketball specialty and Esports camps virtually

DALLAS, TX – In order to connect, maintain and grow skills with Mavs Academy campers during these unprecedented times, the Dallas Mavericks will virtually go to campers homes this summer. Beginning this month, Mavs Academy will host its first-ever virtual camps, including hoop, dance, basketball specialty, and eSports camps.

The Mavs Academy camps are open to boys and girls of all skill levels in the 7-18 age range and vary from free to $75, depending on the camp. Each camp will be hosted by Mavs Academy coaches and staff where campers will participate in a virtual session of skill training. Breakout rooms will be incorporated in some camps so that Mavs Academy coaches can focus on smaller groups of campers at a time.
