We couldn't have asked for a better turnout for our first year of Girls Basketball Camp. We had about 42 campers...all of whom were eager to learn more about the game of basketball, play lots of scrimmages and win tons of prizes. The prize that all the girls wanted the most (besides the NY Liberty tickets) were the signed basketballs...who would have thought they'd be such a hot commodity! We also had signed Media Guides, NY Liberty t-shirts, NY Liberty tickets, Iona WBB bags and Iona WBB t-shirts.
At the end of each day, we all went down to the pool for our "Swimming Cool-Down", which was much needed after all of the hard work they had put in during the day. The campers also impressed us with their enthusiasm to participate in the "Spirit Theme of the Day". Monday-Support Your Team Day...Tuesday-Crazy Sock Day...Wednesday-Crazy Hair Day...Thursday-Mix-Match Day...Friday-Maroon and Gold Day. We gave some individual prizes for campers who went the furthest with each theme...some of those socks were CRAZY!!
We also gave out a few trophies on Friday during the Awards Ceremony. Most Spirited for the Week...Most Outstanding Player...Most Enthusiastic Player of the Week...Hustle Player of the Week...Sportsmanship Award.
We all (coaches, players and managers) had a great time running the camp and were so excited that the campers had such a good time throughout the week. We hope to see a lot of the faces from camp at some of our games this season and back at camp next year!!
