East Peoria, Ill. - The Illinois Central College women's basketball program hosted their annual "FUN-damentals" summer camp for 5th-8th graders earlier this week. A total of 41 campers worked on a variety of skills including ball-handling, passing, shooting, defense, rebounding, and offensive moves during the three-day camp held at Ramsey Gym and the ICC CougarPlex.
In addition to skill stations and competitions, the camp also featured a daily "team talk" where ICC women's basketball players and staff shared about how to be a good teammate, the importance of doing your best in the classroom, putting in extra time to improve, and how to "play the next play" after making a mistake.
Competition winners were:
1 on 1 Champ (5th/6th): Ella Dean
1 on 1 Champ (7th/8th) - tie: Sophie Mefford, Stella Mefford
3 on 3 Champs (5th/6th): Katelyn Wilkerson, Ella Dean, Lucy Lucas
3 on 3 Champs (7th/8th): Peyton Bernhausen, Sophie Mefford, Stella Mefford - for the 3rd consecutive year!
Special recognition was given to ICC assistant coach
Stan Prosser, who is in his 49th year of working basketball camps.
Staff members who worked the camp were:
Emily Dana,
Addy Engel,
Lily Luczkowiak,
Larissa Taylor, Ellie VanMeenen, Hannah West,
Kaitlin White, Jayson Alexander,
Addi Swadinsky,
Stan Prosser, and
