The 2,775-point scorer, good for 6th all-time in state history, Payton Brown is returning to his old stomping grounds. The former Waldron guard is hosting a shooting academy inside the Waldron Activity Center on August 5th. “I’ve always been proud to be a Bulldog!” added Payton.
His one-day shooting academy will focus on training, thinking, and practicing like a shooter. The two-time All-Lone Star Conference player will lead athletes through shooting break-downs, workouts, and a shooter’s mindset. In addition to Payton, staff members from the University of Arkansas Fort Smith men’s basketball team will also be in attendance to assist with individual skill development and showcase a college shooting workout.
This camp is open to all area athletes in 3rd through 12th grade. Pre-registration price is $50 per athlete or $55 on the day of. Registration is open at 9:30 am, with the camp running from 10 am to 4 pm. There will be concessions available and every camper will receive a shirt.
“Prioritizing basketball to the younger guys has always been important to me. Not everyone from these small communities gets the same opportunities and exposure that other places do. I just hope to pass a little knowledge on while having lots of fun at the same time!” It’s not every day that a talent like Payton Brown comes back to his hometown gym and opens a camp for the youth. Take advantage of this awesome opportunity!
