I photographed the Nike/Elite Hoops Basketball Camp at Greater Atlanta Christian School in Norcross for the Norcross Patch newspaper on Wednesday, July 27, 2011. This second round of camp teaches dribbling, passing and shooting skills to around 60 children in grades six through ten. Elite Hoops pulls coaching talent from local high schools, colleges and pro teams and keeps an 8:1 player-coach ratio to allow more in-depth teaching. These are my favorite images from the camp.
