CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Alongside nine of the nation’s fellow premier big men in college basketball, University of Miami center Reggie Johnson will participate in this summer’s Amar’e Stoudemire Skills Academy at the Attack Athletics facility in Chicago, Ill.

During the three-day camp (June 21-23), Johnson will join Stoudemire and some of the most experienced instructors in the game to receive hands-on lessons in training and development. Johnson will participate in five workouts throughout his three days in Chicago, as well as an open media session on the final day.

Last year’s invitees for the Amar’e Stoudemire Skills Academy included Anthony Davis (Kentucky), Mason and Miles Plumlee (Duke), James McAdoo (North Carolina), Alex Oriakhi (Connecticut) and Jared Sullinger (Ohio State).
