Jon's Basketball Camp Through SCVAA

This Saturday was Jon's second week at Basketball Camp. We signed him up through St. Croix Valley Athletic Association instead of Woodbury because through this league he will be able to play with his classmates or at least with kids from his own school. There are three of his classmates in his group, Ethan, Colin and Mitchell. They keep all of the Lake Elmo kids together so it was nice to have kids there he knew. He really enjoys playing basketball and he is actually pretty good at dribbling and shooting. They provide the smaller balls and lower the hoops so it was easier for them to shoot. Since it was "Camp Style" there were 7 stations set up. His first station was working on their shooting technique. The next one was dribbling, 3rd was shooting a layup. 4th was defense, can't remember the 5th. 6th was passing and the 7th was rebounding. I couldn't get pictures from every station since it went around the whole gym but I took a lot while he was warming up and at the stations that were close by. We hope to take Jon to a basketball game weather it be Highschool or the Gophers so he can see how it is suppose to be played. There are a couple games this week for Stillwater Varsity Boys vs. Woodbury tomorrow night and Friday night against Mounds View. Both are away games so we will see. Below are some pictures of Jon at camp. Enjoy!

Pretty good if he is looking up already and not at the ball!
