(Crookston, Minn.)- The University of Minnesota, Crookston Women's Basketball program held its 3rd Annual Women's Basketball Shooting and Scoring Camp on June 8-10 in Lysaker Gymnasium on the U of M, Crookston campus. Girls in grades 3-12 learned about ball handling, proper form and dribbling. The campers worked on shooting drills, attacking the rim and other skills they can use to improve their basketball ability. The players learned from the Golden Eagle Women's Basketball coaching staff as well as current Golden Eagle Women's Basketball player and second leading scorer in program history Jamie Zelinsky.
 
"We had a great week of camp. The girls came each day and really worked hard at improving their individual skills," says Val Sannes, assistant coach/camp director. "It was fun to work with these girls and see great improvements over the three days."
 
The campers will be able to see their Golden Eagle Women's Basketball team in action on Wednesday, December 8. UMC opens the home basketball season at 6 p.m. against the Dickinson State University in a non-conference game at Lysaker Gymnasium.
