Local b-ballers will be schooled by a master in the field this summer at Steve Novak Teaches Hoops Basketball Camp.
“I’m very excited to be back for my second year with Teaches Hoops,” said former New York Knick Steve Novak, on the camp’s website.
The 30-year-old, who plays for the Toronto Raptors, will teach a sold-out group of local boys and girls aged 7-16 from July 15 to July 19 at Sleepy Hollow High School in Tarrytown.

The Yorktown Husker Universe reports that Novak highlighted Sleepy Hollow’s love of the game by noting its success in launching players to Division 1 programs and players like Tony Taylor, a Sleepy Hollow native, who had workouts with the Knicks.
