KiKi Summer Camp

Recommended Posts

KiKi (Hawai'ian; pronounced key-key) means small child or young person.

 

U of A Summer basketball camps are in full swing. They are kind of fun to watch.

The talent is often better than expected. The camp schedules are well thought

out. They give the young ones tastes of competing; team work; fundamental skills.

 

Mainly student managers running it. They themselves enjoy working with the young ones.

It is a teaching/learning experience for them as well..

 

The sessions end with spirited short games, full court, that try to utilize what the KiKi

have just learned,

I attended these camps for several consecutive years in my middle school days. Always had fun developing friendships with the players/coaches, especially Dru Joyce and guys like that.

 

The highlight of all of the camps for me: Winning the 3-on-3 tournament with Larry Nance Jr. and some other kid.

 

Speaking of Larry Nance Jr. and these camps...

 

I'll never forget watching Larry go on a fastbreak, dribble towards half court where two defenders awaited him, half-jump while bringing the ball between his legs from behind, splitting the defenders, and scoring easily with a layup.
