History
In 1996, the Sacramento Warlords and Chinese Community Church Basketball Program hosted a camp to improve the skills of their players. Led by Warlord coach Tommy Fanner, “Summer Hoops ’96” was a successful event that revealed a desire for a clinic targeting younger age groups. In response, Tommy’s Warlords Class of 1999 team decided to have a youth summer camp as an annual fundraiser. Though the ’99 Boys would eventually graduate, the demand for camp remained. Tommy and his boys, now alumni, would continue what they started.
A Summer Tradition
Today, the Sacramento Warlords Youth Summer Camp is a highly anticipated event. Tommy and several generations of Warlords and Warlord Alumni return every year, to teach the fundamentals of playing hoops and having fun. Camp has become a tradition, where many return-campers (and some first-timers) enjoy three weeks of drills, games, and treats.
Camp is for kids entering the first through fifth grades. Registration is $100 per participant, and includes a camp t-shirt, group picture, and a Sacramento Monarchs game ticket (additional tickets are available at additional cost). Space is limited and filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Parent Survey Comments
“This was our first time at camp and my daughter’s first time playing. She looked forward to it everyday. It was well organized and the coaches were enthusiastic and encouraging. My daughter also loved the treats at the end of the day. Thanks for a great experience.”
“We’ve been participating in this clinic for the past five years. The coaches make it fun for the kids.”
“The emphasis on the fundamentals is second to none compared to other camps in the Sacramento area. The coach to player ratio is awesome.”
“My son’s skills have definitely improved over the three weeks. We’re going to keep him involved in Warlords since he really seems to enjoy it. Thank you for a great program and keep up the great work.”
“This camp was outstanding. The coaching and instruction were very impressive. What I thought was the most beneficial was the way the coaches worked with each child.”
“I like the quality of instruction and attitude of the player-coaches… Giving back by instruction is something that is admirable. Hopefully my kids will remember to do what these coaches do as they get older. Thanks!”
“The best camp! Wouldn’t miss it! Can’t wait ‘til next year!”
