Coach Hemi Showcase Camp Series
Campers from all over the Southeast have received instruction and exposure at CoachHemi.com camps in the past year.
The Coach Hemi Camp series is a place where prospects from the Southeast and beyond can gain quality exposure with high level skill training. This camp consists of a team of people who are dedicated to helping both male and female basketball players achieve their goals. The camps now run three times a year. We have showcases spring, summer and in the fall which run in Tennessee and Kentucky. The combination of game play and skill work allows players to play against top competition. Our skills trainers also help push players past their limits by challenging in drills.
