Basketball camps abound this summer
It’s that time of year when coaches are busy putting on camps as young players are eager to hone their basketball skills.
This week two basketball camps were held, one by WCHS coach Chris Turner and one by college standout Jennifer Wilson. Both camps were busy as campers learned the skills necessary to improve their game.
On Monday the Lady Pioneer basketball team will be putting on its 4th annual camp with over 80 girls expected to participate. Over the last four years the camp has averaged 80 girls and this year’s camp is expected to be bigger and better than ever.
The Lady Pioneer Basketball Camp will run June 21-24, from 8-10 a.m. each day. The camp is for girls in the 3rd-9th grade. Tuition is $40 per camper and $30 if more than one camper per family.
“This is our fourth year and it just keeps getting better,” said Lady Pioneer coach Ann Eades.
“The camp is meant to teach fundamental skills and it’s an opportunity for the coaching staff to see what kind of players are out there. We provide the campers with high -quality instruction, but we also try to make it fun for everybody. I will be there at 7 a.m. for early registration and I want the parents to know they’re welcome to stay during the camp.”
