The Neillsville Recreation Department in cooperation with the University of Milwaukee Women’s Basketball team will hold a youth basketball camp for boys and girls, in 5th-9th grade on Saturday, September 23rd at the Neillsville Fieldhouse.Eight members of the University of Milwaukee Women’s basketball team will be the lead instructors. Neillsville alum, Jenny Lindner, now a senior at Milwaukee, along with Stanley Boyd alum Jamie Reit will drill participants on passing, shooting, ball handling & individual defense. They will be assisted by teammates: Sydney Howard, Allysa Fischer, Sydney Staver, Jaye Two Bears, Allysa Moore & Bre Cera.
Also adding his expertise to the camp will be coach John Gaier of the Neillsville Warriors girls program. A leadership/citizenship component will also be part of the camp.
Camp will run from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. with lunch included. Each camper who pre-registers by Sept. 16th will receive a clinic t-shirt. Later registration is welcome, although those registering after that date, will not receive the camp t-shirt. This will be the second year for the Panther Pride camp, last year 103 youngsters participated.
The main goal/focus for Jenny & Jamie is to “give back” to the kids & individuals in our local community who have always been supportive of their basketball careers back in high school and now at UWM.
