Camp Philosophy
The philosophy of the LYA basketball camp is to provide boys and girls the opportunity to learn about the game of basketball and the skills required to play it in an environment where they feel safe and have lots of fun. We stress to our campers the importance of individual growth as a basketball player. Consequently, a primary goal is to teach campers how to become better players. We will show them skills and drills that they can use to continue their improvement when they leave camp, and we will incorporate team building activities and games to help them learn how to work with others. We believe and emphasize that playing the game of basketball is a great way to learn important life skills, applicable both on and off the court, and build positive character.
Facilities
The LYA Basketball Camp is held at the Lee Middle and High School Gymnasium.
What to Bring
Basketball sneakers, appropriate clothing (Shorts, t-shirt), a water bottle (labeled with name)
