The Titan Club, along with Detroit Titan Athletics, will host the first Titan Club Basketball Camp for Special Needs Players on Monday, August 22, 2011.  A collaborative effort of the booster club, the Titan basketball programs, and Titan Athletics, this unique event will provide a great opportunity for special needs athletes of all ability levels to learn and develop skills in a fun environment.  The event will take place at both Calihan Hall and GESU elementary school (located across McNichols Road). Registration will begin at 8:00 AM, and the camp will run from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM.

Campers will receive basketball instruction, a tour of Calihan Hall, and will hear from members of the Detroit Titan Division I basketball programs. Any players 14 years of age and older may participate.  This camp is for persons with trainable mental impairment (TMI), educable mental impairment (EMI) & other developmental or physical disabilities.  Parents or guardians are welcome to stay on-site during the camp if they choose.

Registration for the special needs basketball camp costs just $15, which includes a camp T-shirt for the participant.  Fill out and return the registration form here to sign up a participant.
