Atlanta Hawks Announce Dates for 2022 Jr. Hawks Summer Camps Presented by adidas

The Atlanta Hawks today announced their Jr. Hawks Summer Camps presented by adidas will take place for five separate weeks this summer beginning Monday, June 6. The 2022 Jr. Hawks Summer Camps presented by adidas are for boys and girls ages 8-15 of all skill levels and will be the first in-person camps hosted by the Hawks Basketball Academy since 2019.

“Jr. Hawks Summer Camps presented by adidas is an impactful community program, which provides us the opportunity to meaningfully connect with hundreds of the next generation of Hawks fans through the game of basketball,” said Hawks’ Vice President of Basketball Development Jon Babul. “We hope to ignite a lifelong passion for the game and provide a memorable experience to every Jr. Hawks camper.”

The Hawks will visit five different sites in the metro Atlanta area throughout June and July, with one week specifically dedicated to young female athletes (July 11-14). This week dubbed the ‘Lady Ballers Summer Hoop Fest presented by Gatorade’ is the first time the Hawks have dedicated a week exclusively to female basketball players. The Hawks Basketball Academy currently hosts programming for its Lady Ballers program, which aims to support youth basketball participation and improve the overall youth basketball experience for girls. The Hawks Basketball Academy will use the Summer Hoop Fest as a continuation of its programming for Lady Ballers.
