Cougar Basketball Camps

BOYS - June 13-17, 2010
GIRLS - June 20-24, 2010

Camp Mission


The mission of the Cougar Basketball Camps is to provide the highest quality basketball instruction in a distinctly Christian environment. Camp sessions will focus on individual and team fundamentals including ball handling, passing and catching, shooting, post and perimeter moves, rebounding, court spacing, fast break situations, and individual and team defense and offense. Campers will participate in league games throughout the week and a double-elimination tournament at the end camp. In addition, devotional times will be an integral part of the camp.

Age Limits


Athletes from ages 8-17 are eligible to attend. For instruction and competition, campers are separated into age and ability groups. The camp accepts students of any race, color, or ethnic origin.

What to Bring


Overnight campers: bedding, pillow, towels, toiletries, water bottle, flip-flops, and as much basketball gear (tshirts, socks, modest shorts, etc.) as possible. Please do not bring excessive amounts of cash or valuables such as jewelry and CD/MP3 players. Label all personal items.

Awards Ceremony


Parents are encouraged to attend the closing ceremony on Thursday at 1:00 p.m. in the gymnasium.

Transportation


If your camper is arriving by bus or plane, transportation will be provided to and from the camp. However, we must know the time and place of your camper's arrival at least one week prior to camp.
