Indiana Pacers star Myles Turner, a Bedford native who attended Euless Trinity High School, will hold a co-ed youth basketball camp this weekend, Saturday, July 30th<\/sup> and Sunday, July 31st at Drive Nation Sports in Dallas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two-day camp is open to boys and girls and consists of two sessions grades 1-6 and grades 7-12. Campers will learn various basketball skills and fundamentals of shooting, ball-handling, rebounding and more from Turner and his camp staff. There will also be prizes, snacks, and possible guest appearances. Camp admission is $150 and scholarships are available.

Q&A with Turner:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMN:<\/strong> How did you begin this camp?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MT:<\/strong> I started this camp my rookie year going into my second year. I was very excited to bring it back to my hometown. Where we are from, Texas is a big football state. I wanted to provide a camp for the kids and youth in my area to show them there is a way out besides football. Basketball is obviously my passion and a lot of peoples too. I also wanted it to be a back-to-school camp so it\u2019s right before the kids are going back to school so they can take a lot of that momentum from the camp into their own respective schools, PE classes, team tryouts, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMN:<\/strong> Tell us about the camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MT<\/strong>: \u201cIt’s a lot of fun. This is year 3. I did it two years in a row, then I had USA basketball obligations for two years and then the pandemic hit. I\u2019ve had participants go on to Division 1 college; I\u2019ve had return campers. It\u2019s a lot of fun. I am very involved. I am in every drill; I am there the entire time, very hands on. It\u2019s one of the things I pride myself on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMN:<\/strong> Why is it important to be involved in giving back to the community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MT:<\/strong> These kids see us as larger than life. They see us on TV, on social media, etc. so to actually see a 7 footer, NBA player in person at that young an age is very tantalizing. If I am out there encouraging them, and reminding them that \u2018hey, I was like you one day,\u2019 then I think that is more endearing to them. To actually do a drill with Myles Turner and compete with Myles Turner in a game, it just hits a little bit different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TMN:<\/strong> What else can campers expect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MT:<\/strong> In addition to the basketball portion, we will have panel discussions about different topics. My parents will have a Q&A session with parents about navigation AAU. I will speak with kids about additional opportunities in the NBA. There\u2019s more to basketball than just playing<\/em> basketball; there\u2019s front office jobs, being a scout, there are other ways to do it where you go to school and get your degree, not just playing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
