Another Successful Summer in the Books

This summer was another successful one for the program. The varsity team competed in 33 games this summer, while the JV competed in 10 games with numerous practices and skill sessions. The program hosted two youth camps with over 100 campers attending. Moreover, the program once again hosted their annual "championship team camps" hosting over 50 varsity boys, jv boys, and varsity girls teams. Lastly, the program is once again currently working to raise funds to keep the program running in a first-class fashion.

Program Purchases New Skill Instructional Aides

Over the summer, the program purchased several tools to help players build their skill levels. The biggest purchase came in the form of a brand-new Shootaway GUN 8000 (pictured).

Players who use this machine have the opportunity to get 100 game shots in three minutes. This system also allows players to print out data of their shots made and attempted. For more info on the GUN 8000, feel free to visit the company's website, www.shootaway.com.
