Myles Turner hosts Inaugural Back to School Basketball Clinic in Partnership with United Way

Myles HEB 2

After a very productive offseason where Myles has gone to award shows, made appearances at the Indy 500 and NBA Finals, and of course played on Team USA Select, he is ready to get back to full season preparation mode. But before he closes out the summer, Myles has teamed up with United Way to host his inaugural back to school basketball camp.

“I want to preach defensive and offensive fundamentals…”

It has been a lifelong dream of Myles to host a basketball camp for kids because of the tremendous impact basketball camps have played on his life when he was growing up in Texas. This August, that dream will become a reality as Myles will host his first annual basketball clinic. It will be a two-day event where the kids will get to work on fine tuning their skills to become better basketball players. As Myles stated, “I want to preach defensive and offensive fundamentals from as simple as making a left-handed layup. I want to touch base with everything, to be a better person and player, and things that apply to life as well.”

“Its a tight knit community, I love the simplicity.” Myles speaking about the HEB Community

Growing up in the Hurst, Euless, and Bedford (H-E-B) Community, Myles could think of no other place he wants to give back to more after all that his community has invested into him. “Its a tight-knit community. I love the simplicity,” Turner said. In keeping true to that promise, part of the proceeds from the basketball camp will be donated to United Way of Tarrant County to benefit the HEB community. Its going to be a hands on camp as Myles said, “I’m going to be heavily involved with this camp from interactions to answering questions, its going to be real exciting.”
