First off – let me apologize for the late hour of this posting.  I teach a night class and was not able to get to my computer until now.

We started our morning off getting warmed up with the ball handling drills we learned yesterday.  After getting warmed up, everyone got down in their defensive stance and did some slides and foot fires.  There was a lot of moving and sweating going on!

We were joined by Coach Woj this morning for a long discussion/demonstration on shooting.  The kids got a chance to get up and try everything Coach was saying as he shared his great wisdom with us.  It is clear how much more everyone gets out of the lectures when they are up and working along with these great speakers.

One of the highlights of the week is always the camp cookout!  The Leominster Recreation Department brought over their grills and cooked more than 150 hot dogs for all the campers.  Yummy, yummy!  And a perfect day for a little picnic!

Other fun things from today include playing some small games, competing in more dribbling relay races, learning the Mikan drill, and watching a memorial video from the Cleveland Cavaliers with clips from Mark Osowski’s final season.  Definitely a full and fun day today!

Congratulations to our Hustle Award winners (Josh, Olivia, Giovanni, and Kassandra) and Sportsmanship Award winners (Patrick, Olivia, Ethan, and Madeline)!  Great job!

Also, congratulations to our Knockout winners – Kassandra, Caroline, Olivia, Clayton, Jack, Ryan, Luke, and Ben!

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

Tomorrow is Blue and White day!  Show your Leominster pride with the school colors!  That should make the Leominster High School boys’ varsity basketball coach happy when he visits us tomorrow afternoon.  See everyone in the morning!
