Twenty-nine basketball mini-camps will be held this summer in locations around Allegheny County, including in McKeesport, Braddock, Clairton, East Pittsburgh, Homestead, Rankin and Wilmerding, a spokesman said.

The "Hometown Hoops" mini-camps are free and open to ages 9-18, and participants may attend as many mini-camps as they like. The camps are run by the Allegheny County Parks Department.

Both boys and girls may participate. Students will learn basketball skills from local coaches and players with experience in the NBA, NCAA and WPIAL. Hours are 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and organizers are strongly recommending advance registration.

The camps will be held in the following Mon Valley locations:

A free box lunch will be provided at 12 noon during each mini-camp by the Allegheny County Department of Human Services through its SummerFood Program.

Proper basketball attire is required. Pre-registration is recommended to guarantee that every child receives a lunch.
