HUMC Basketball Camp

Both girls participated in the HUMC basketball camp the week of June 2nd. Courtney participated as a camper and Kelsey was a student coach helping Coach Jim instruct about 90 campers. The camp lasted from 8:30 until 3:30 each day and they performed for all of the parents and special guests on Friday to show what they had learned.

During the week, they learned basic ball handling skills, shooting technique, played team games, played dribble tag, and had special drills for dribbling and shooting. Courtney had a really good time and has improved tremendously over the last several years. She has been going to the camp for the last 3 or 4 years (about the same time Kelsey started helping with the coaching).

Here are a couple of pictures from the camp (Courtney with Coach Jim and Courtney during one of her ball-handling drills):

Courtney is already looking forward to playing Upward basketball next January. She missed it last year due to recovering from her heart surgery.
