On Friday, August 23rd, Emily Potter will be hosting a special event titled "Mad Love for Female Hoopers" in partnership with the Emily Potter Basketball Elite Camp. The event is aimed at fostering connections within the basketball community in Winnipeg, with a particular focus on young female athletes aged 5-12. The event will take place at the Emily Potter Outdoor Basketball Court located in behind Glenlawn Collegiate (5 Fermor Ave). Registration is required
This event has been a long-time dream for Emily Potter, who has always wanted to create a space where people who love basketball can connect and grow together. With the help of a generous grant from Canada Basketball, she is hosting her dream basketball camp for the top female players in the province. This invite-only camp, free for athletes to attend, is intended to be the first of many annual Emily Potter Elite Camps.
To conclude the camp, a free clinic will be held for young girls of all skill levels, whether they are just starting out or have been playing for years. Families are encouraged to come, watch, and participate in the activities. Emily Potter and the elite camp athletes will lead the girls through various drills and games, offering an opportunity for the next generation to meet and look up to these accomplished players.
The event will also feature free food and drinks, a tie-dye station, and additional giveaways. Emily Potter emphasizes the importance of providing role models for young female athletes, something she lacked growing up, but is now determined to change for the next generation.
Registration is required and will be capped to ensure that everyone in attendance has ample time on the court. Further details, including the location of the event, will be provided in the sign-up form. The camp roster and additional details will be released soon.
