The 4th annual 4th-8th grade Lady Coyote basketball camp was a huge success this year. We had our largest turnout and this group worked extremely hard. We focused on the fundamentals, participated in some competitions, and learned the standards of the program. I want to send a huge shout out to all of our High School helpers (some not pictured) that made this camp fun and enjoyable for this group of girls! The future is bright!
