Chicago Bulls Basketball Summer Camps Coming to Lisle

LISLE, IL. – The Chicago Bulls/Sox Academy will be hosting the official summer camps of the Chicago Bulls at the Bulls/Sox Academy at 6200 River Bend Drive.  The basketball camps are available for boys and girls from ages 6 to 14 at every ability level, and are designed to have fun, work hard, and improve the fundamentals and advanced techniques of every basketball player.

The camp will run from June 11^th until June 15^th.  The (Boys only) camp will run from 9:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. and the (Girls only) camp will run from 1:00- 4:00 p.m.  The cost is $199 per player.

The Bulls/Sox Academy has created a unique experience for all of its summer camp participants.  Each basketball camp participant, along with one guest, will be invited to the United Center for a question and answer session with a Chicago Bulls' personality and a current and/or former Bulls player. 

“We are proud to offer this new experience to all of our camp participants.  Beyond working on their game, these young athletes now have a rare opportunity to visit the United Center and meet Chicago Bulls personalities,” said Xan Pearson, Vice President of Marketing at the Bulls/Sox Academy, which operates the camps.  “The professional instruction and the opportunity to engage with a pro athlete create a “Bulls” experience that sets us apart from other summer camp programs.”

Professional instructors from the Bulls/Sox Academy will work with campers on ball handling, passing, shooting, rebounding, footwork and team concepts. The “Rookies” session is geared toward teaching the basic fundamentals of basketball for young players just learning the game. The “Veterans” session focuses on advancing essential skills of basketball for the more experienced or travel players. Each participant in the summer basketball camp program will receive the United Center experience, 4 White Sox ticket vouchers for a White Sox game, a Bulls/Sox Academy duffel bag, Chicago Bulls indoor/outdoor basketball, t-shirt, and a graduation certificate.   All athletes will receive a skills evaluation, with the top skills scores in each age group competing for the Grand Championship on the United Center court at the annual Champions Day event. 

 The Bulls/Sox Academy opened in 2001 in Lisle, Illinois and runs summer camps and extensive training programs in basketball, baseball, fastpitch softball, and sports conditioning for boys and girls from beginner to professional.
