Creek, who recently completed his second NBA Summer League campaign, will host clinics at the Horsham Basketball Stadium on Thursday and Friday next week.
Creek will host a session on August 2 from 5pm-7pm and then on August 3 from 4.30pm-6.30pm.
The professional basketballer will run youngsters through a range of drills and exercises.
The timing comes as Creek has been in talks with NBA franchises regarding a potential two-way NBA contract.
Horsham Amateur Basketball Association vice president Nicole Lakin said it was a huge opportunity for the children.
“It’s an incredible opportunity for the children to hear from a local talent that’s going down the road he has gone down,” Lakin said.
“They will be able to hear how hard you have to work. He will hopefully inspire a lot of them.
“Sometimes you don’t make squads but if you work hard enough you can still achieve it. His name is always spoken about in the stadium but now they can actually meet him face to face.
“There are about 15 spots left for the Friday and 30-40 for Thursday.
“We are also making plans for a public speaking presentation Friday night and are hoping to fill out the stadium.”
