It’s a full house for summer basketball skills camp hosted by Olney High School Varsity Basketball Head Coach Eric Symank. Coach Symank is hard at work this summer keeping the excitement of the game alive and giving kids a fun activity to participate in

One of the activities of the basketball camp was a king of the hill shooting challenge, shooters got to keep shooting if they scored as other shooters rotated in to try to take over the basket from the holder. Photo by Will Sadler

Coach Symank is teaching a large group of children basketball skills over the summer, which includes one on one coaching time. Kids also learn teamwork, passing, dribbling, shooting and good sportsmanship along with many other useful skills. Photo by Will

It wasn’t all work during the summer basketball camp; children played a game by tossing the ball into the air, clapping then attempting to catch the ball behind their backs. Photo by Will Sadler

Coach Symank incentivized players by awarding tokens for achieving certain tasks or answering trivia questions correctly. Photo by Will Sadler
