Register Today for Huntington Girls’ Basketball Camp

Fresh off a fantastic season that saw the Blue Devils win 16 games and reach the Suffolk Final Four playoff round, the Huntington girls’ basketball program is holding a summer camp for young players interested in becoming the varsity team’s next hero.

Sponsored by the Huntington Booster Club, the camp will be directed by varsity head coach Perry Marinelli. It will be held in the Huntington High School gym beginning July 7 and running through July 10 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Registration is open to students entering grades 3-9.

“The focus of the camp will include skill development in shooting, dribbling, passing and teamwork as well as mini-games and contests for all participants,” Coach Marinelli said.

Marinelli is entering his second year as the Huntington varsity head coach. A Northport High School graduate, he obtained an undergraduate degree at SUNY Oneonta. He later earned a master’s degree and teaching certification at CUNY Queens College.

The sideline mentor’s first coaching job was as a volunteer assistant with the Huntington varsity girls’ basketball team. The next year he led the Blue Devil JV to a 16-4 record and captured JV League Coach of the Year honors.

He then spent six years as Northport’s JV coach and varsity assistant. During that time the JV team compiled a record of 94-10 and Coach Marinelli was named JV League Coach of the Year four separate times.

While working with the Northport varsity, the Tigers won the county championship in 2020 and the team reached the Suffolk finals four times in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023. The varsity had a record of 90-12 during the time Coach Marinelli worked in the Northport program.

Now the basketball guru is ensconced in Huntington. His team defeated Northport twice last season and 2025/26 is already shaping up to be another great year.
