Last week the Tiger basketball program joined forces with Kuyper College and hosted a 3 day skills camp. Throughout those 3 days the kids took part in drills that focused on defensive positioning, off the ball communication, help side defense, shooting, dribbling, passing, using screens and moving without the ball. They were also able to put these skills into action with some scrimmages. Thank you to Coach Bailey and his Kuyper College crew for coming in to work with our kids.
