MPHS Boys Basketball program held a basketball camp for boys in 3rd through 5th grade. The camp met 8 times from Tuesday, September 9th through Thursday, October 2nd. The camp was for boys to work on their fundamental skills of basketball. Campers were instructed on the fundamentals of ball handling, passing, shooting form, set shots, jump shots, layups and basic offensive cuts of the game of basketball. There were 20 participants at camp and was a huge success. The campers especially liked the small game contests such as dribble war, layup contest, knock out shooting game, spots contest and 3 on 3 half court and full court play. Hopefully the campers will work on the fundamentals of basketball in their free time and continue to participate in youth basketball leagues.
