Washington, D.C. – The Washington Wizards announced that Under Armour will serve as the presenting partner of Jr. Wizards, a camps and clinics initiative that aims to teach fundamental skills as well as the core values of the game in an effort to help grow and improve the youth basketball experience for players, coaches and parents. As part of the Jr. Wizards program, there will be a series of clinics and events during the WNBA’s Washington Mystics season that will target local girls ages 6-14.

“Under Armour is thrilled to continue our partnership with the Wizards and help to relaunch the Jr. Wizards program,” said Trey Evans, Director of Global League Partnerships, Under Armour. “The DMV is a special area to us and it’s important we give back to a community right in our backyard. To do it by using our platform to help teach deserving kids the fundamentals of basketball and the power of sport is an unbelievable opportunity that makes us excited for the future.”

Weekly 2018 camp sessions are currently on sale and will take place in five locations in the metropolitan area from June to August. The locations include: Discovery Sports Center (June 25) in Boyds, MD; Hoops Plus (July 9) in Sterling, VA; American University (July 16) in Washington, D.C.; The Park School (July 23) in Baltimore, MD and City of Bowie Gymnasium (Aug. 13) in Bowie, MD.
