First of all, I wish we had more action shots and camp activities to show, but unfortunately, most of those pictures came out blurry and out of focus.  Regardless, the 09 ballher skills academy was a huge success.  Once again, Tamika Catchings, who is a leading candidate for this year’s WNBA MVP award, was there as well as a new notable guest - Christine Baker.  In case you haven’t heard of her, Christine is the author of a great book about the passion of girls basketball entitled, “Why She Plays.”  You can visit her website by clicking HERE.  As for the  camp, everything went planned as scheduled and everyone had a great time.  Overall, more than 80 campers, coaches, and helpers made the day a memorable moment for all involved.  Thanks again to all who volunteered their time - your efforts were very much appreciated.  Also, thanks again to Tamika for taking the time out of your busy WNBA schedule to reach out on such a personal level to so many of your young admirers.  Good luck in the upcoming post-season playoffs!
