Every participant in the summer camp program receives a Bulls Basketball Schools duffel bag, Chicago Bulls T-shirt, 4 White Sox Ticket Vouchers, and an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the United Center. All athletes will also have their abilities tested in some of the same skills that pro scouts use to test college athletes. The top qualifiers in each age group will compete for the Grand Championship on the United Center court at our annual Champions Day event.
The Chicago Bulls summer camps are broken down into two different age levels: Rookies and Veterans. The “Rookies” are for ages six to eight years old. This session is for three hours per day over five days and is geared toward teaching the basic fundamentals of basketball for young players just learning the game. The nine and twelve year olds participate in a three hour skills camp per day over five days that focuses on the essential skills of basketball for the more experienced or travel players.
The Bulls/Sox Academy opened in 2001 in Lisle, Illinois and runs extensive training programs for boys and girls from beginner to professional. There are additional academies in Glen Ellyn, LaGrange, and Schererville, IN. For more information or to register for a summer camp, go to www.BullsSoxAcademy.com or call 630-324-8221.
