Summer camps to emphasis fundamentals
MARBLE FALLS — Athletes who want to improve their skills in just about any sport will have their opportunities.
Area high school coaches will conduct summer camps for football, volleyball, basketball, soccer and softball.
Most athletes have to be at least 5 years old through incoming high school freshmen to be eligible to participate.
Camp directors are the head coaches of each program, and staff members are assistant coaches and former players.
In addition, the University Interscholastic League allows member schools to organize a six-week strength and conditioning program for their athletes free of charge. The program is June 6-July 14 at Marble Falls High School, 2101 Mustang Drive, with a morning session 9-11 a.m. and an afternoon session 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Athletes need to sign up at the athletic office before participating.
