The first week of the school summer holidays was busy for the Club as the City Hoops Summer Camps were on at Holy Rood High School and Portobello High School.
The morning sessions at Holy Rood were for people at Primary School and 30 players enjoyed 4 days of basketball coaching from Janie McBrierty, Niall Mackle, Annie Rowan, Holly Gordon, Ciara Purves and Shannon Purves, ably assisted on various days by Alex Ferguson, Robyn Love, Hansine Marshall and Derek Ferguson.
The last day saw the finals of the games that had been played throughout the week with the very exciting final going into overtime before the Basketball Beasts took the winning shots and the glory!
The afternoon sessions again were fully booked so 30 players were put through their paces by Steven Dickson, Jamie Malcolm, Niall Mackle, Annie Rowan and Lauren Walker.
The players were videoed shooting and then had their technique reviewed by Annie and guest coach Garreth Lodge.
The last day of this camp also saw some drama with Emma Watson carted off to hospital after turning her ankle, thankfully it was a sprain and after some rest and TLC she will be back playing.
Many thanks to all the coaches and the attendees for making these camps so successful.
