That's All Folks ..



Hey Followers,


Well, this week is the end of the official summer basketball workout time period. Coach gives us from the first of the month, until we arrive at school (August 22nd), off from summer workouts. We have had a great summer so far and are looking forward to many things to come from this summer.


If you go to our women's basketball website, you will find our 2011-2012 schedule and roster, if you have been anticipating for it to be on there. Looking at the schedule, we are going to have quite the challenge this year. Nothing we can't handle though! The new roster is up and running with our new recruits listed on there too. We are looking forward to the first day of conditioning as well as the first day of official practice! Hopefully you all check out the schedule and attend a few games this year. We are always looking for new faces in the crowd!


This is all I have for now, but I hope that you all continue to follow as the blogs will get better as we start to actually get into season and things are more fun around here! ;)


Until next time ..

Catching Up ..


Hey Followers,

Last week was the summer camp for elementary through high school kids that were interested in attending our skills camp to help develop their basketball skills. I had the opportunity to help out with the four day camp again this year. I saw familiar faces, but also new ones that I hope attend next years camp. What an experience!

Each day we worked on stretching and drills we do here on the women's basketball team to help warm up our legs before practice. We also worked on ballhandling, correct shooting technique, shooting (lay-ups & short jump shots), and drills implementing ballhandling while dribbling, such as races. Little kids always enjoy a little bit of competition.

Although the camp was only four days long, you could see steady improvement with each girl that attended the camp. Some mornings the girls would come up to me and tell me and the other camp instructors what they worked on when they went home after camp each day. You could see the difference between day one and day two.

Overall, it was a great experience and I am sad to know that it was my last one here at PUC because I will be wrapping up my four year experience being a student-athlete at the university as of May 2012. I had a great time each year with each and every one of the girls. I hope to hear about them as they grow older and hopefully go on to play basketball in high school and college.

Above is a picture of Ashley, Adrianna and myself holding a picture. Ashley and Adrianna were two sisters who attended the camp. They drew each camp instructor pictures to hang in their lockers during the season.

Until next time ..
