Fork Union Basketball School with Coach Fletcher Arritt

26th Annual Basketball School
July 8-12, 2012
Ages 9-16

Fork Union Basketball School has existed since 1985 under the direction of Coach Fletcher Arritt.

During the school year, Coach Arritt teaches at Fork Union Military Academy and coaches the post-graduate basketball team. His players move on each year to the college ranks. You can find posted in the Thomas Gym, where they practice and play, an impressive list of the athletes from Fork Union who are currently playing in college. These same players are the core of his teaching staff. Other staff members are veteran coaches familiar with Coach Arritt's philosophies, strategies, and goals.

During the camp, Coach Arritt can be found day and night, checking on everything going on at the Basketball School. In the more than nineteen years of directing the camp, his wife has also been present, helping with other details of camp life. In the time spent here, campers are educated in the fundamentals of the game, good sportsmanship, social skills, and the importance of team work.

Coach Arritt continues to instill his enthusisam and love of the sport to all that come in contact with him. He says, "My goal is to teach the game and pull all efforts together into bringing each individual and their game up to another level."

You may call (434) 842-4206 or email: berryb@fuma.org to request an application form and send it in with your payment (or you may pay online) . If you pay online, you must still return your registration and health forms with required signatures. Acceptance of walk-in registrations on the day the camp opens cannot be guaranteed. Prospective campers are encouraged to apply early as enrollment is limited.

(The second or more from the same household receives a $25 discount with advance registration and payment). Team rates available on request. The day camper fee is $230. Girls may come as day campers.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

Should a camper find it necessary to cancel, a full refund will be made if notification of cancellation is received 20 days prior to camp start. Cancellations after this deadline will result in a refund deduction of $25 for administrative expenses. There are no refunds after uniforms are issued.

Transportation

Since there is limited public transportation to and from Fork Union, it will be your responsibility to provide transportation for each camper by private vehicle.

Housing and Meals

Resident campers are housed in air conditioned Academy dormitories staffed by camp counselors and instructors. Bring your own linens (towels, pillows, sheets, etc). Nutritious hot meals begin with Sunday evening supper and end with Breakfast on Friday. Day campers may have lunch and dinner. We are not responsible for, and ask you not to bring, any electronic devices, such as iPods and video games, etc.
