KINSTON, N.C. – Curtis Hines, CEO of Hines Workoutz and a former standout at Shaw University, is returning to his hometown to host The Come Ready to Work Fundamental Skills Clinic, a high-intensity basketball training event for student-athletes in grades 1 through 11.

The clinic, which emphasizes fundamentals, development, and competitive growth, is limited to 25 spots per age group. Sessions are divided as follows:

Hines has trained some of the nation’s premier talent, including NBA stars Reggie Bullock and Brandon Ingram, as well as college standouts Jaydon Young and Dontrez Styles. His company, Hines Workoutz, is based in Charlotte and specializes in high-level basketball development.

Before founding his training business, Hines shined at Shaw University, where his senior season was a breakout campaign—averaging 18.8 points, shooting 49.5% from the field, 37.3% from three, and 88.6% from the free-throw line. His career shooting percentages remain elite: 50.5% overall, 40.1% from three, and 81.2% from the stripe.

Also returning to the clinic is Dylan Gottuso, assistant coach at the University of Mount Olive. Gottuso brings four years of skill development experience and is entering his third season on the college sidelines.

The Come Ready to Work Fundamental Skills Clinic is more than just a camp—it’s a hands-on development experience. In addition to the main sessions, Hines will be available for private and small group training after hours, giving athletes even more access to elevate their game.
