WBSD students were able to participate in a variety of youth athletics camps this summer.
Youth Football
The Youth Football camp had over 125 campers from 3rd grade through 8th grade.Everyone participated in skill development drills, they worked on offensive position and defensive position fundamentals and finished each day with competitive “Air Force Football” games.Both high school coaching staff as well as 18 high school players lead the camp. Overall, it was a success and the campers had fun!
Girls Basketball
Over 30 girls participated in basketball camp - 18 were in 6th-8th grades and 14 were 3rd-5th grades.
The basketball camp was awesome, coaches worked with the girls at different skill stations, such as shooting, rebounding, agility, passing, and defense. Most of the first day was station work, and the second day was station work plus they got the chance to play against each other. Each participant got a camp T-shirt.
Overall, it was a huge success, and we received lots of positive feedback on how everything went. A big thanks to our varsity girls for helping run the stations and helping out with camp participants!
Our main aim for the camp was to start to build a culture of girls basketball and Woodhaven. The camp helped these girls to gain confidence in their basketball skill and was a great opportunity for our Varsity girls to show leadership and help mentor them.
Softball
The softball camp was held outdoors on our state of the art turf field for 3rd-5th graders and 6th-8th graders in two separate sessions. Camp was run by program coaches and players and the 38 participants were taught fielding and hitting.
In addition, dance camps were held in late spring and volleyball was available for students as well. We look forward to many more students participating next summer!
We hope everyone is enjoying discovering new classes or hobbies this summer with the help of Varsity Tutors. Young Animators Camp and The Art of Drawing are the top picks for this week for both elementary and middle school students. High school students might want to consider the class with Ashley Wong - So You Want to Work in Graphic Design?
