NBPA’s Top 100 Camp Returns to Walt Disney World
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex to host 30th edition of camp
Posted On: May 9, 2024 By :The National Basketball Players Association’s Top 100 High School Basketball Camp will for the fourth year in a row take place at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, from June 8-13.
Players will participate in drills, learn strategies from current and former NBPA members and coaches, along with competing in team scrimmages in a tournament-style format. Players will also attend educational sessions and participate in group discussions on mental health & wellness, financial literacy and NIL rights.
“As we mark the 30th anniversary of the Top 100 Camp, we celebrate a milestone in developing elite talent and shaping young lives,” said Purvis Short, senior vice president of player programs at the NBPA. “The camp has consistently provided a robust platform for elite athletes to hone their skills under the guidance of some of the greatest minds in basketball. Witnessing the evolution of this camp has been a profound honor. The combination of high-caliber on-court action and comprehensive skill development encapsulates our commitment to nurturing skilled athletes and well-rounded individuals.”
The coaching program at the camp helps current and former NBPA members transition to a coaching career. Over the years, the program has helped several NBPA members transition to a career in coaching, including Ime Udoka (coach for the Houston Rockets), Willie Green (coach for the New Orleans Pelicans), Dahntay Jones (assistant for the Los Angeles Clippers) and Royal Ivey (assistant for the Houston Rockets). Since 2019, Top 100 has also hosted NCAA coaches and NBA scouting personnel.
