Nearly 40 youngsters in grades 4-9 attended the recent Lyndonville Basketball Camp.
Participants, who were divided into two age groups (4-6 and 7-9) took part in a variety of games, drills and competitions to sharpen their basketball skills at the camp which was directed by Lyndonville boys varsity Coach Lee Dillenbeck and girls varsity Coach Barry Webber.
“Coach Webber and I were very pleased with the turnout,” said Coach Dillenbeck. “The benefits of having so many kids participate, to practice the fundamentals and to learn to play together is huge for the future of our program. It was our inaugural camp and we’re hoping to build on it in the future. And it was great to see our varsity kids come in and give back to the program by helping the younger kids.”
