Hope everyone had a great fourth of July!!
While this month we are celebrating our nation’s
independence, last month our program got to celebrate a little with our
basketball camp. The camp always seems
to be a lot of fun to the campers and they enjoy getting better at the game of
basketball.
Everyday we would start with our ballhandling drills which
should be done how often campers…….every day, that’s right! Haha Then we would do some shooting and lead into
our competitions and games. One of the
competitions we do is Basketball Golf.
It’s something I’ve done since I was attending my own high school camp
back in Rochester, NY. Basically what
it is, is a glorified game of Horse.
And the kids LOVE it!!!
Our main goal is that the campers have fun so that they
enjoy the game enough to practice the drills at home on their own. Because the players that practice hard on
their own are always the ones that have the most success later in life. That’s why our goal is to get them having
fun doing the drills because if they are having fun they don’t even realize how
hard they are working.
Hopefully we will continue to get back some of the same
campers as they are AWESOME to be around!!
While I’m trying to make it fun for them, they are making it fun for
me. There’s nothing better than having
a camp with good kids who come with a positive attitude and want to get
better. So I wanted to say thank you to
the campers that came this year and I hope to see you again next year! Plus bring a friend or two with you for even
more fun :-)
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer and if you are a baller
I hope you are working hard at your game!
Yours in Hoops,
Coach Strick
