MAGNOLIA, Ark. – Southern Arkansas University Head Coach Eric Bozeman has announced two Mulerider basketball camps that will be held in July. An individual junior and senior high camp is set for July 15-19 and an elementary day camp will run from July 23-25.

Bozeman is entering his third season at SAU, after having served as an assistant coach at Ole Miss for seven years. Some of the top high school and college coaches in the region will assist the Southern Arkansas coaching staff and players with the camps.

Instruction, activities, and supervision will be classified according to age.

Campers will receive individual instruction in fundamental phases of basketball including defense, rebounding, shooting, ball-handling, and passing.

Registration for the junior and senior high (grades 7-12) individual camp will be held on Sunday, July 15, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Bussey Hall. Registration for the elementary (grades 1-6) day camp will be held on Monday, July 23, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. in the W.T. Watson Athletic Center.

Campers should bring basketball shoes, socks, T-shirts, and shorts. Resident campers for the individual camp should bring bed linens and a pillow for a single bed, and personal articles such as towels, swim suits, and money, for concession and pizza orders.

While at camp, campers will be covered by an excess insurance plan. This is designed to cover only eligible expenses remaining un-reimbursed after primary insurance companies have made payment in case of injury. A copy of this policy will be made available in the camp director’s office.

Cost for the junior and senior high individual camp is $250 for residents staying on campus, with a $100 deposit due, and $180 for commuters, with a $75 deposit. The cost for the elementary day camp is $75, with a $25 deposit.
