80 YOUNGSTERS ATTEND MIDDLETOWN'S
"GYM RAT" BASKETBALL CAMP

 
 
 

Middletown High School was the site of the four-day "Gym Rat" Basketball Camp. A total of 80 youngsters participated in the camp, which was held July 8-11 and was sponsored by the MHS Sports Boosters.

The main objectives of the camp were to help young players entering grades 2-9 develop their individual skills and to provide them with many opportunities to improve during competitive games. Campers participated in daily skill development stations, 3-on-3 games, free throw shooting competitions, Hot Spot shooting contests, and 5-on-5 games.

No trophies were presented because the camp staff has decided to encourage youngsters to participate "simply for the love of playing the game" and not for material awards. All campers received a camp t-shirt, certificate of participation, and motivational packet. More than $500 worth of door prizes were given out during the week.

MHS graduates Ken Bartlett, Tanner Mills, and Mike Pritts were league commissioners and assisted in the overall organization of the camp.  High school student-athletes who served as counselors at the camp were rising seniors Luke Headley, Ben Panther, Brad Rinehart and Tim Schumacher; rising juniors Zeb Ahalt, Cedric Ayenu, Nick Little, Will McClain and Ian Roy; and rising sophmores Schulyer Call, Matt Considine, Clay Smith and Eric Reichelt.  Head coach Aaron White and assistant coach John Yoho were the camp co-directors and were assisted by coach Andy Baker and coach Jason Smith.

Next summer's "Gym Rat" Basketball Camp will be held July 7-10, 2014 (Monday through Thursday).
