season June 8-10. The Team Camp guarantees six games and one
time-and-score situation. Varsity and junior varsity levels are
available with games being played on the Coors Events Center main
floor as well as the practice facility.
Individual sessions are showcased during the
second week, with Individual Camp and Little Dribblers running June
16-19. The Little Dribblers Camp, for ages 5-9, is a half-day
session for the first time camper who will learn age appropriate
skills in a fun atmosphere. CU's Individual Camp, which runs
concurrent to the Little Dribblers Camp, is a full day session for
ages 9-14. The Individual Camp will offer basketball instruction in
both offensive and defensive areas, plus campers will compete in
various skills contests and play in 5-on-5 games.
Colorado's Shooting Camp is an all-day session
on June 20, for ages 8-18. This camp is designed to improve
footwork, shooting technique and accuracy through instruction and
repetition. Each camper will be taught the fundamental approach to
shooting through a step-by-step shooting progression -- the lay-up,
set shot, pull up jumper, shooting off screens, and the 3-point
shot.
Camp activity concludes with the Elite Camp,
June 21-22, for ages 14-18. The Elite Camp is designed to take the
player's game to the next level. Emphasis will be placed on
offensive skills including: position work (guard, forward, post),
using screens and reading the defense, the pick and roll, 1-on-1
play, 3-on-3 competition and 5-on-5 team play. Both commuter and
overnight camper options are available.
All of Colorado's camps will be held at the
Coors Events Center with breakout sessions in the attached
basketball/volleyball practice facility and also at Balch
Fieldhouse. The camp staff will consist of the Colorado women's
basketball coaching staff, current and former CU players, as well
as regional college and high school coaches.
Campers will also have the chance to participate
in contests and skill competitions with daily awards and prizes.
There will also be seminars on strength and conditioning, NCAA
rules and academic eligibility, mini-clinics and coaching seminars
and instruction featuring CU's coaching staff.
GÇ£Camp season is one of my favorites because
everybody on our team has been a camper at one point in time and
remembers how much fun we had,GÇ¥ Lappe said. GÇ£ItGÇÖs our goal to make
sure every kid goes home with that same experience.GÇ¥
