BUFORD, Ga.,-This week the Buford youth girls basketball camp was held at the city gym in Buford.
The girls basketball youth sports camp is led by the students, PE coaches, JV coaches, and Varsity coaches.
Camp this week saw more than 150 campers, ranging in age from 7 to 16 according to Head Girls Basketball Coach Gene Durden. According to him, it was an example of the school system's mission of building community by serving students.
"The first thing we want these young ladies to understand is the goal of this camp is to become a better person. We work together to help them build relationships and gain life skills through working with their teammates. Second, we want them to have fun and enjoy their time with us each day. Lastly, we want them to learn more about basketball," said Durden.
Coach Durden continues to say how proud he was of the high school team members who run the camp.
He said, "I have to mention how appreciative and proud I am of our Lady Wolves that stepped up to make this camp happen. If they were not personally invested in the program this camp would not be as successful and the important principles behind our Buford Athletic culture would not be passed down to the younger generation wolves."
