Coming from a family full of basketball players and growing up in Dallas, Texas, Phil Pressey’s love for the game is real, on and off the court.
Phil’s parents are Elizabeth and Paul Pressey. Together they have four children: Ashley, Angela, Paul Jr. (known by his middle name of Matthew) and Phillip. Paul was an NCAA basketball All-American, National Invitation Tournament Champion, NBA All-Defensive Team selection, JUCO National champion and a first-round NBA Draft choice.
Phil was teammates with his older brother Matt for two years at Missouri and basketball is just a way of life for the Pressey clan.
Since the start of the 2017-2018 season, the 27-year old guard has been playing for Barcelona in the Spanish League ACB and the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague. In the off-season, however, Pressey is also busy not only with practices and workouts but also summer basketball camps. This upcoming June, the Pressey family has organized a basketball camp in Dallas for young athletes from 1st grade to 12th grade, to learn the fundamentals of the sport from the best.
The camp will not only be held in Dallas and will be giving back to the community but the Dallas Mavericks will be in attendance. Children from six years old to eighteen years old can attend the camp and can register at ‘Pressey Camps‘. Below, you can view the details of the camp:
