WEST PLAINS, Mo. – Area boys and girls entering first through eighth grades this fall are invited to attend the 2015 Grizzly Basketball Camp hosted by Yancey Walker, head coach of the Missouri State University-West Plains Grizzly Basketball team.
The girls camp is set for 6 to 9 p.m. July 20 and 22, and the boys camp will be held 6 to 9 p.m. July 21 and 23. Both will take place at the West Plains Civic Center arena. The cost is $40 per person.
“The purpose of this camp is to help participants improve their fundamental skills,” Walker said. “My goal is to give each young man or young lady individualized instruction during the camp in hopes of maximizing their time while here.”
Walker said in addition to breaking down the camp by gender, each session of the camp will be broken down further by age and ability to ensure everyone’s needs are met.
The sessions also were scheduled in the evening and around other activities in the community to make them available to more participants, he added.
“This camp is always a fun time, and it’s always very satisfying to see the improvement each camper makes from the beginning to the end,” Walker said.
