LITTLE SILVER – Red Bank Regional High School (RBR) will host its sixth annual Maroon and White Team Girls’ Basketball Camp Tuesday through Thursday, July 29-31, at the 101 Ridge Road school.
The competitive sporting event also functions as a showcase for East Coast colleges. Participants number between 180 and 200 athletes, representing more than 15 high schools. Teams are primarily from Monmouth County but also include representation from all over New Jersey, including the state Tournament of Champions winner Shabazz High School from Newark.
The public is welcome and admission is free.
Games are scheduled for every hour on the half-hour, beginning at 3:30 p.m. through 8:30 p.m.
“The camp offers a great opportunity for high school players to develop and practice their skills over the summer in a competitive environment,” said James Young, RBR girls’ basketball coach and Maroon & White camp operator. “It continues to grow in popularity with the same schools returning each year. With the advantage of being one of the only NCAA-certified events in the region, students also get exposure for college play and scholarship opportunities. Over 75 coaches representing over 50 Division I, II and III colleges return every year because they like the format and structure.”
Just a few of the colleges who send representatives to the Maroon and White Camp are: Rutgers, Fordham and Seton Hall universities, the universities of Maryland-Baltimore County and Delaware and Wagner College.
