$220? Steep!

Yeah. That's why the price is so high. Because we all know only rich kids are the ones who really love the game, not kids in impoverished areas, the NBA is living proof that poorer kids HATE the game lol

Seriously who cannot afford $220 for their kids dream??

I'm sure there are plenty of people who can't afford $220 for a one day camp, NBA player or not. I'm not convinced it will sell out. It depends on what their ceiling is. I imagine (speculation only) the price is so high because the organisers need to cover the cost of Kyrie and his Dad's airfare and accommodation.

For $220 and the once in a lifetime factor it is good value. I understand the camp isn't for everyone but with 2 rep kids who idolize Kyrie and the NBA for me it's a birthday gift sorted for this year and a no brainer. Add that you get an autographed photo with Kyrie which will be another priceless piece of memorabilia in the eyes of kids, the price for me equals value. In comparison, my kids went on a AFL football camp last year which was $380 for two days run by two B-Grade AFL footballers. The camp was great and kids will do it again.

Kyrie Irving is coming!!!!

You are correct in regards to the airfares. They are flying first class airfares which will cost $25,000. Not a cheap camp, depends on what the other coaches do: coach or just stand around.

Bring out the super-stars for the players, and bring out guys like Ganon Baker for the coaches.

(For what it's worth, I got a lot out of Ganon's recent trip to Melbourne. I recommend him to any organisation that wants to go places.)

I don't know about all you sceptics, but I can pay $280 a ticket to go see a 30 year past it Fleetwood Mac for two hours, $300 per kid to go to St Kilda Football Clinic or $220 for 2 days with an NBA All-Star. I checked out the coaching staff assisting him on the website, former Olympians, NBL & WNBL players.

At $110 per for a six hour day.....heck, I can't even get babysitting for that.

I'm not sceptical, I think it would be a great experience, and likely worth the money. Personally, I can't afford it, but seeing as my kid is under the age of nine anyway, I don't have to worry! :)

$25,000 per first class seat? Don't know where you got that, but it's not that expensive for first class

Yes it is. $12,000 for first class la to melb. check it.

nothing on offer for coaches (

I think some of you parents are missing the point. Who cares if Kyrie can't really teach any better than some highly credentialed coach.

It's about your child meeting and learning off of an NBA star. Who knows the heights Kyrie will go to in his career the sky is the limit.

I played Soccer through early childhood and represented SA when I was 13.
There was a day at Hindmarsh Stadium where we got to meet and have a kick with Pele. He kicked the ball with us for a whole 3 minutes and had a quick photo then he vanished. Some parents were upset but we didnt care we just got to meet Pele we were stoked.That was 20 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday. I still tell Soccer fanatics that I met the man and their faces light up every time because of who it was.

Let the kids have their dream, don't be a grouch. If you can't afford it fair enough but no sour grapes because you think your kid won't learn a lot.

Forget $220 for the two day camp. Some are paying $200 for a two hour session, granted its capped at 30 players per session. Alot of money for two hours no matter how you look at it.

I'd love to go now, even at 26
