Paris High School head girls basketball coach Jonathan Vire and members of the senior girls basketball team hosted a youth basketball camp last week at Paris Gymnasium. Campers attended four days of camp from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. The camp featured basketball skill work, competition, and fun for the participants. The first year camp is part of the new coach’s approach to re-building the foundation of the senior high basketball program.
When RNN asked Vire about the camp, he commented, “We had a great week. We had 20 campers, and with the storm on Monday night, I thought that was an impressive number of participants, especially for our first year. All of the girls that attended worked hard, had fun, and I felt that they each got better at something, and that is what it is all about. Overall, I felt like it was a successful week.”
Each camper received a camp t-shirt with their registration fee. The turnout was impressive, and should be a big factor in making basketball fun for children and encouraging them to continue playing.
