Getting the most out of a Sports Camp

Alright, its that time of year. Sports camps of all types will be going on.  Here’s a few tips athletes and parent’s should know to get the most out of the experience. As an instructor of numerous camps over the years here’s some tips from an instructors perspective.

1. Research your camp thoroughly. Know things like: age range, skill level, number of participant’s, coach to athlete ratio, level of expertise . All of these factor into the level of fun   and quality of instruction.Your athlete should be a “realistic” fit to get the most out of the experience.

2. Know the cancellation or absentee policy. Things do come up (weather, sickness) and you want to be up to speed on where you stand once you’ve put your money down.

3. Be equipped properly.  Make sure you have the appropriate attire, footwear etc. Improper footwear on the wrong surface can lead to injuries.  Check the weather to have the right clothing or change of clothing readily available.

Just days after completing his senior season, Alhambra High’s Robert Stephenson has been named the Gatorade California Baseball Player of the Year. As a pitcher, Stephenson finished the season with a 8-2 record, 1.19 ERA, 142 strikeouts and only 23 walks. He did it with an ever-growing group of professional scouts at every game, and helped the Bulldogs reach the second round of the North Coast Section Division III playoffs. “To me, it’s a great honor,” Stephenson said. “Overall, I thought it was a pretty good season. I thought we had a pretty good year.” Stephenson also hit .324 with 14 RBIs and played right field when he wasn’t on the mound. His calling card, though, was a fastball that could hit 98 mph, a sharp curveball that often proved unhittable and poise on the mound. “I think it’ll be cool to look back and see all the accomplishments,” Stephenson said. Stephenson has already committed to attend Washington but is expected to be a first- or second-round draft pick in Monday’s Major League Baseball first-year player draft.

Its been a couple of years since we’ve seen JW MC Govern (St Ignatius). He used to make the trek from Oakland regularly but commute problems made it difficult recently. However, it looks like that early hard work and difficult commute  has paid off. I got a great call from his mom the other day.

She stated: “JW was selected to First team for the WCAL league and had signed to play at Yale. She wanted to thank Gamespeed for being instrumental in what he has achieved thus far and we played a big part in his development as a Lacrosse player.”

Hey JW, we still have that signed picture of you on the wall. Stop on by and bring us one of you at Yale.
