Basketball Camp 2014: Day 1

Campers and their parents arrived to Woodberry yesterday morning, and we could not have asked for more beautiful weather! Boys registered, and moved into Down-Finch hall, picking up WFS Basketball Camp apparel before gathering outside for an all-camp meeting. There are many new and familiar faces, and a number of boys that participated in football camp just last week are back again for basketball camp.

The camp walked down to the Barbee Center together and split into age-based teams. After a warm-up, the teams spread out onto the various courts in the Barbee for their own drills and exercises led by their coaches. The camp also has a designated time to go over one of the core values of the camp. Yesterday they discussed unity. 

After lunch in the dining room, campers were able to rest before heading back down to the Barbee Center for their afternoon practice. The boys played 5 v. 5 games, and even on the first day, these games were intense! Coach Dawson told me that he definitely sees some really talented players. 

In the evening, there was a free throw contest before boys were able to head to the Fir Tree for milkshake night.
