We have one primary goal in our camps and that is to prepare you to be successful as a basketball player. We focus on three areas to make that happen: fundamentals, attitude, and work ethic. We want every young man who leaves our camp to have a total and complete understanding of what it takes to be successful in the game of basketball.In the past twenty-seven years, Coach Fiegel has won five State Championships (1993, 1996, 2007, 2009, and 2010). His TEAMS have also finished second in 1998 and 2015 as well as third in 1994 and 2011. Overall his TEAMS have made twelve State Tournament appearances. In 2007 and 2010, he was chosen by the Wichita Eagle as Metro Coach of the Year and All-State Coach of the Year as well.When you think about what camp to choose for your son this summer, ask your-self these questions:

1. Do you want a tough and challenging camp for your son?2. Is twenty-seven years of summer camp experience important to you?3. Do you want your son to work harder than he has ever worked and have fun

while he is doing it?4. Do you, at some point, hope that your son will be a high school player on

a great TEAM?

Coach Black and Coach Gehrer have been coaching speed and strength training for 28 years. Cam Clark is the head trainer at Newman University and Wichita Collegiate School.

The class is for kids going into the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, both boys and girls. All classes are held in the Lattner Center located at the Upper School. Science has proven that ages 7‐11 are the most critical years in a child’s life for motor skill development. Our program utilizes the most up-to-date research in a fun and friendly environment to build the young athlete’s physical skills. Through our youth speed training, youth agility training, and youth sports per-formance training technique, kids will improve coordination and self‐esteem. Every athlete will go through an evaluation process to assess strengths and weak-nesses in areas such as speed, agility, and coordination, which will allow them to be grouped accordingly. After this first evaluation, the child will be placed in groups based upon performance level and age. All the drills and activities will be age and skill appropriate. The program’s goal is to improve the following ar-eas: coordination / agility, running technique, body weight, strength, first step quickness, flexibility, injury prevention, weight loss, and self confidence. Coach Gehrer and Coach Black highly recommend this program for any youth athletes no matter the sport they participate in, as it will help get them in shape as well as improve their speed and agility for the upcoming or current season.
