The camp will provide instruction on the fundamental skills of shooting in a competitive setting. Each player will be provided 1 on 1 instructional feedback and video analysis on their shooting form and fundamentals. This is an area that all players in our program need to become more consistent with, so we encourage you all to attend!

- We will start right at 6 pm, so we can maximize our time.
