Next Level Sports was established in July of 2000 by Ric Wilson, a native of Hampton and former standout at Phoebus High School. Next Level's goal is to provide fundamental basketball instruction, in an exciting and productive environment.

For the past four years Next Level Sports has hosted summer instructional basketball camps for boys and girls 7-16 years of age at Heritage High School in Newport News, VA. During the summer, campers have been able to develop their basketball skills, compete in a competitive sportsman like setting and interact with collegiate and professional athletes and mentors.

Some of the camps guest have included NBA All Stars Charles Barkley and Tim Hardaway, Michael Finely (Dallas Mavericks), Juwan Howard (Orlando Magic), Joe Smith (Minn. T'Wolves), Johnny Newman (NBA player and native of Richmond), Ron Mercer, Andre Miller, Rod Strickland and Rodney Rogers among others.

Next Level is committed to the community through giving scholarships to underprivileged youth to attend its camps in the summer, as well as assisting with various academic and educational platforms that aide in increasing test scores.

In the future, Next Level Sports looks to increase its programs to include a Spring Break Camp and other seasonal camps for youth.
