Carter just finished up a 9 week basketball camp. Coach Barbara Eheart (sp) runs the camp at the Apple Athletic Club, and it is by far the best basketball camp and league in Idaho Falls. She coached college basketball for 15 years and really knows what she is talking about.She was very strict but loving with the kids and even had special whistles to get the kids attention. If she blew once they had to put their balls down and yell "stay" if she blew twice they would slap the ground, get into the defensive stance and yell "coach E what do you want?" Then she would give them instruction on what to do. I love watching Carters face as he would yell! I loved watching as she taught them the very basic skills like dribbling and the defensive stance. The kids were taught to use their off hand just as much as their good hand and proper shooting technique. The kids were not allowed to shoot 3 point shots all hour which is about all they want to do at this age. She taught them that they need to master layups before they can practice far shots. I was in heaven each week watching as Carters improved. He had a lot of fun and we will definitely be doing it again.
