RBR to Host Sixth Annual Maroon &White Girls’ Basketball Camp and Showcase

Red Bank Regional (RBR) will host its sixth annual Maroon and White Team Girls’ Basketball Camp from Tuesday, July 29, through Thursday, July 31. The competitive sporting event also functions as a showcase for east coast colleges. Participants number between 180 and 200 athletes representing over 15 high schools. Participating teams are primarily from Monmouth County but also include representation from all over New Jersey including the state Tournament of Champions Shabazz High School from Newark. The public is welcome and admission is free.  Games are scheduled for every hour on the half hour beginning at 3:30 pm through 8:30 pm. RBR is located at 101 Ridge Road in Little Silver.  

 RBR girls’ basketball coach and Maroon & White camp operator James Young states, “The camp offers a great opportunity for high school players to develop and practice their skills over the summer in a competitive environment.  It continues to grow in popularity with the same schools returning each year. With the advantage of being one of the only NCAA certified events in the region, students also get exposure for college play and scholarship opportunities. Over 75 coaches representing over 50 Division I, II and III colleges return every year because they like the format and structure.”

 Just a few of the colleges that attend the Maroon and White Camp include:  Rutgers, Fordham and Seaton Hall Universities, the Universities of Maryland-Baltimore County and Delaware, Wagner College, etc… Anyone interested in learning more about the camp can contact James Young at jayoung@rbrhs.org.
