The Wellington Wolves Travel Basketball Association, in partnership with the Village of Wellington, will host the second annual Trent Frazier Basketball Camp on Saturday, July 27 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Village Park gymnasium at 11700 Pierson Road. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m. for campers ages 8 to 14.
Frazier is a professional basketball player, currently playing as a guard for the Russian team Zenit. Throughout his high school years, Frazier played for Wellington High School, helping his team win the state championship in 2015. He also participated in the Wellington Wolves organization.
Frazier then played for the University of Illinois, where he is the school record holder for most games started (138) and most minutes played (4,885). He also is fifth all-time in scoring and second in career made three-pointers.
Growing up, Frazier’s participation in camps and programs was limited by the cost to attend, so he is giving back to his community by partnering with the event and offering the camp for free to participants and their families. He will be onsite signing autographs and taking pictures with the participants.
Camp objectives include developing ball handling, offense, shooting, defense, passing and fundamental basketball skills.
While the camp is free, registration is required. Spaces are limited to the first 100 children. Online registration began on Wednesday, July 10. To register, visit https://wellingtonwolves.leagueapps.com.
All registered campers will receive a shirt provided by K12 Print along with food provided by Chick-fil-A Royal Pam Beach/Wellington.
