In just its second year of existence, the Richmond Elite Academy basketball camp will welcome over 300 kids through its doors in an unassuming industrial park in Hanover. Once inside, some of the messages they will receive will come through loud and clear.
Former Highland Springs standout Andre Ingram attended the camp this week and spoke to the assembled future hoopsters.
Ingram is a longtime family friend of Joyce Patterson who owns the gym and runs the camp.
“This is like family for me,” Ingram said. “I play in this gym on the weekends. To see the passion from these kids brings me back to when I was their age doing camps like this.”
Ingram starred for the Springers back in the early 2000s and went on to play four years at American University.
