Coach Lance's 1st Ever "Skillz Camp"...

Two days after Christmas, Lance put on a 2-day, 3-hour long basketball camp for 16 kids. Most of the campers were boys who are on Lance's current team or who have played for him in the past. With the exception of my niece and nephew and two other boys, all campers have played competitively before.

The camp was filled with fun, important fundamentals, drills, contests and games. Lance had everything under control and was very well organized. He had an assistant coach (Greden's Dad, Brian) who filled in and helped out. At the end of the camp, we supplied a pizza party and gave out awards and recognition.

All of the kids seemed to have enjoyed themselves and I got a lot of positive feedback from parents.

It was a positive experience for all involved, including the kids, coach, and parents who observed.

Out of all of the many basketball camps that Joshie and Jayden have taken in the past, I'd have to honestly say that Coach Lance's Skillz Camp was by far the best camp they ever took. I know I know what you're thinking, "it was better than Bibby's camp?"...Well...minus Bibby it was definitely the best one...okay, okay...even with Bibby it was still the best one!

What can I say, Lance is just the most fun, most positive, enthusiastic, well-liked, and respected youth coach out there. He teaches the kids important values and skills while making sure that he remains positive and energetic. His knowledge and love for the game comes out during his coaching sessions and the kids seem to really soak it up.

I guarantee that this won't be the end of Coach Lance's Skillz camps for sure...more of his camps are yet to come! All campers be ready to sign up and fast!
