2015 Basketball Camp: Day 1
Campers started checking in at Down-Finch Hall yesterday beginning at 9am, and everyone was so excited to see old faces and meet new ones. Once all of the boys arrived, everyone headed down to the Barbee Center to meet this year's coaching staff and get split into their age groups. After stretches and warm-ups, campers worked on various drills.
After lunch and rest period, campers were able to walk back down to the Barbee for some free shooting time, before drill's began. The majority of the afternoon consisted of 5v5 games which are always so exciting! I was able to record some video so be sure to check out the youtube link below!
After a 6pm dinner, the campers competed in a free throw contest before their visit to the Fir Tree!

Basketball Camp 2014 Closing Day
It was so great having all of the parents on campus yesterday to watch the guys warm-up and participate in 5 v 5 games. After the last game, coaches gave out awards for different categories and an MVP from each team was named (see the full list below). We look forward to seeing some of these guys as WFS students this fall, and seeing the younger guys back for camp again next year!

Basketball Camp 2014 Day 3
During their morning practice, campers went through offensive stations, rotating every seven minutes, before sitting down together to talk about what skills they had learned.
Coach John Allen led a great core values talk on enthusiasm, and how something as simple as encouraging a teammate and letting him know that you have faith in him, can make or break a game. Coach Allen set up a drill that both he and Coach Dawson use when coaching, that requires a lot of enthusiasm from both those participating and those waiting to do so. In the beginning, the campers hesitation got the best of them and as a camp they had to do push-ups due to lack of enthusiasm. Immediately after this however, when the drill began again, I had never heard the Barbee center so loud before. The camp was split into the three courts doing the drill, and as the last age group finished on the middle court, the other two groups came to the center court to cheer them on. This was by far one of the greatest moments I've ever witnessed in all of my years of basketball camp.
After grabbing lunch and resting up, it was back down to the gym for games. The drill and talk from earlier clearly stuck with the campers as they cheered and encouraged one another.
The camp spent yesterday evening down at the outdoor pool, eating pizza, playing corn hole and volleyball, and swimming around. The storm passed through without dampening the night and we ended the evening with a lot of fun and a gorgeous view.
We look forward to seeing parents on campus today for games and awards!
