Well, I have spent this past week at Heart of America basketball camp. Talk about a hot week. With the temperature over 100 degrees outside can you imagine what it must be like in an unairconditioned basketball court? Well let me tell you, it's hot, hot, hot. I was with the 8,9,10,11, and 12 year olds this week. There were a total of 73 kids. Big group. Add to the fact that we were at the YMCA and had to compete with YMCA Day Camp all day, it made for a pleasent experience. I had lost my voice after the second day. All in all, I had a good group to work with. I mainly stayed with the 12 year old group. Great group! A lot of talent. You know, I think I really like that age group better than the little kids. I've worked with the little guys for 4 years now, and not to take anything away from them, but the skill level is much better (obviously) with the 12 year olds. And maybe to, it was because I had known some of them from tournaments that we've played in. I got to meet some really neat kids from teams we've played before from the Emporia Spartans, Topeka Stars, Kansas Kings and the Manhattan Magic. We talked about meeting each other over the winter. I'm sure we'll see these teams at some point. I loved to hear them tell how they hated to see World Class Sports on their weekend schedule.
It was nice to see that all four WCS players, that were at camp this week (Treyton Hines (3rd), Dylan Lefort (5th), Devon James (6th), and Parker Hambley (alumni) were named to the All-Star team. It's great to see our players make a name for themselves and find other success rather in just our games.
HOA camp officially marks the end of my summer basketball experience for the year. Can't wait to start back up in October.
