Dribbling and ball handling were the name of the game at the Mark Osowski Basketball Clinic today!  The highlight of the day was an active ball handling demonstration from Coach Dellasanta.  After talking to the kids about the importance of good ball handling skills for a few minutes, he had all the kids up and working with him as he taught them new tricks for strengthening their hands and controlling the ball.  Everyone was involved, active, and having fun!  And even though the kids were all exhausted at the end, many still took a moment to approach Coach Dellasanta and thank him for teaching them – a fact that really impressed the coach.  What great sports we have!

In addition to ball handling, kids also practiced different types of passing and screens.  At the end of the day, they put the skills they learned together with a team competition involving dribbling to a particular cone and passing off to a partner.  Stay tuned for a video showing the excitement!

Congratulations to our Hustle Award winners (Joe, Ava, Daniel, and Isabella) and Sportsmanship Award winners (Jack, Caleigh, Ben, and Jaden) from today!  You all did a great job!

Also, congratulations to today’s knockout winners – Isabella, Olivia, Jennifer, Jack, Evan, Jordan, Luke, and Andy!

Don’t forget to check out the camp pictures from this week!

Tomorrow is another big day!  We will have our camp cookout for lunch.  We will serve hot dogs, chips, and drinks.  Kids should still bring water bottles.  If they don’t want hot dogs, they can bring their own lunch and/or snacks.  Also, tomorrow is Pro Day, so break out those Celtics, Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins, Cavaliers, etc. shirts!  See everyone in the morning!
