This summer, the Oconomowoc Boys and Girls Basketball programs are offering the Oconomowoc Basketball Shooting Club to any boy or girl that wants to participate! 

This club is free to any kids in the Oconomowoc area and will run from June 15 - August 15.  The idea is simple, you get 1 point for every shot you take this summer.  We will provide a doc or you can print a calendar to record how many shots were taken each day.  We will have a mid-summer check in to see how things are going and at the end of the summer you will record your total number of shots on a form and turn it in.  We will have different prize levels, so kids can set goals for what level they want to achieve this summer.  We will hand prizes out in August and invite our winners to a game next winter to be recognized!  Everything you need to know is in the link at the top of the page.

We will also be posting shooting and ball handling workouts that kids can do, on our website throughout the summer, www.oconomowocbasketball.org.  If you know someone that would like to participate, they can access the docs on the website as well.  If you have any questions after looking over all the details, feel free to email us at oconomowocbasketball@gmail.com.

We would love to see all of your hard work this summer so please share your basketball pictures with us on twitter (@raccoon_hoops), or instagram (@ocon.hoops).  Tag us so we can post it to our accounts and use the #Family

On a side note, we are working to reschedule our summer basketball camp for July, but are waiting for final confirmation before we put anything out there.  Look for more information in the next few weeks.

We hope you have a great summer and make a lot of shots!
