ESPN host and personality Stephen A. Smith has partnered with IMG Academy in Florida to launch a basketball camp scheduled for this summer.
The First Take and K[no]w Mercy host will lend his name to the Stephen A. Smith Basketball Camp at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida from August 6-12.
“To have my own basketball camp associated with IMG Academy is an incredible opportunity for me to share my story and help inspire the next generation,” Smith said in a statement. “I’m honored that IMG Academy sees me as someone who can be an extension of its mission of empowering student-athletes to win in their future, preparing them for college and for life.”
Smith’s camp will offer attendees the opportunity to hear directly from the ESPN star himself. Campers will be able to participate in Q&A sessions all week.
“Providing advice on what it takes to succeed not only on the court, but also beyond the shot clock, is something I’m very passionate about,” Stephen A. said.
For those interested, the camp costs $2,899, but that includes branded gear that camp attendees will wear all week in addition to meals.
