BRANDYWINE - The basketball hotbed that is Prince George’s County requires local players to stay on top of their game year-round in hopes of gaining an edge and improving as a player.

Gwynn Park Boys’ Basketball Head Coach Mike Glick has been building a tremendous resume in Prince George’s County while at the helm of the Yellow Jackets and is holding a camp to help improve those willing to learn.

Boys ages six to 17-years-old can participate in five one-week sessions running from June 20 through July 25 at Gwynn Park High School. The cost of the camp is $190 per week.

Accumulating over 430 career wins, Glick has built a yearly contender in his nine years at Gwynn Park. The former Washington Post Coach of the Year, as well as a two-time County Coach of the Year, Glick has taken the Yellow Jackets to multiple MPSSAA Final Fours, regional championships, and county championships. Glick is also responsible for sending 75 players to the NCAAs, with 44 playing at the Division 1 level.

Glick’s summer camp has seen many of the area’s best players return to help the next group of young stars in Prince George’s County with lectures, advice and wisdom. Players who have come to visit Glick’s camp include Rudy Gay, Delonte West, Donte Green, Juan Dixon, Steve Blake, Mo Howard, James Gist, Lonnie Baxter and Taj Holden.

I would advise freshman not to mess up academically and don't get yourself into trouble. You don't get the time back and it matters.

What is your favorite highlight from this year?

The second game determined which team would go to the regional championship. Gwynn Park ended up winning the 2A Regional Championship.
