WELCOME TO SOMETHING NEW
This summer, Ambrose University is proud to bring Calgary something truly special — the very first Ambrose University Nike Basketball Camp Series, held right here on our campus in the southwest corner of the city.
This is not your average summer camp. What makes this series exceptional, and genuinely unlike anything else available to young athletes in Calgary right now, is who is behind it and who will be on the court with your athletes every single day.
The entire Nike Basketball Camp Series has been designed and developed by the Ambrose Lions varsity coaching staff. Every session, every drill progression, every teaching moment has been carefully built by coaches who understand what it takes to compete and develop athletes at the university level.
But here is what makes this a rare privilege for every camper who registers:It is the Ambrose Lions Varsity Head Coaches themselves, Neil Nystrom and Aphia Ward, along with actual Ambrose Lions varsity athletes, who will be on the court delivering every session, coaching every skill, and working directly with your athlete throughout the week. Your camper will not be handed off to junior staff or outside instructors. They will have direct, on-court access to the real coaches and real varsity players of the Ambrose Lions Basketball programs.
Train on a university campus. Learn from university coaches. Play alongside university athletes. Right here in Calgary. This is the opportunity in front of your athlete this summer. Remember, spots are limited.
Don't miss it.
