Why are the Ed Conroy Basketball Camps so important to the Lowcountry community?

“The summer time is the best time for kids to try new things and interact with their friends while making new ones, the Ed Conroy Basketball Camps will be instructed by The Citadel basketball staff and players. The techniques and skills taught over the summer are the same techniques and skills that have worked for several players that have played in the NBA and overseas while earning All State or All-American recognition at the high school level. Player development has always been a passion of mine at all of my stops in my coaching career and there is no better time to develop your skills and love for the game of basketball than during the summer time with your friends.” – Ed Conroy
