Former University of Dayton Basketball Star Returns to Dayton for Annual CareSource Obi Toppin Youth Basketball ProCamp

(DAYTON, OH – June 7, 2022) – Former University of Dayton Basketball star and current New York Knicks power forward Obi Toppin will return to Dayton, Ohio this summer to host his second annual youth basketball ProCamp from August 2-3 at the University of Dayton Recreation Center.

The CareSource Obi Toppin Basketball ProCamp is open to boys and girls from grades 1-8. Camp participants will learn fundamental basketball skills and hands-on instruction in a high-energy, fun and positive environment from Toppin and other local high school and college coaches. Campers will also receive a limited-edition camp T-shirt, a souvenir autograph and a team photo with Obi. The camp will run from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. each day.

Campers will be divided into small groups based on age to ensure each participant receives maximum camper to coach instruction.

“I am excited for the opportunity to return to Dayton and host my camp for the second summer in a row,” said Toppin. “It’s amazing to watch the kids experience playing the game I love in an educational, high-energy, fun, positive environment. The camp experience is great for athletes of all skill levels, whether they are new to the game or have been playing for years.”

As part of their sponsorship, CareSource will provide fifty children from the Dayton Boys & Girls Club the opportunity to attend the camp for free.

“CareSource supports the Dayton Boys & Girls Club’s mission to inspire, develop and help young people to reach their full potential,” said Devon Valencia, chief information officer at CareSource and member of the Dayton Boys & Girls Club’s board of directors. “Ensuring they have access to this camp is just one more way we can improve the lives of kids living in West Dayton.”

Obi Toppin played two years for the University of Dayton and was the consensus National Player of the Year in 2020 leading the Flyers to a 29-2 record. He was the number 8 selection in the 2020 NBA draft by the New York Knicks.
