Mercer Women's Basketball Team and Elite Camps Hit The Court

MACON, Ga. - The Mercer women's basketball overnight and elite camps have hit the University Center courts in full force this week, as over 300 local aspiring players have joined Mercer staff for the four day camps. The overnight camp is designed to teach and develop basketball skills to girls 6-17, while the elite camp offers advanced instruction and intense competition among high-level players, designed to help campers get their game to the next level.
Both camps feature instruction from Mercer's women's basketball coaching staff: the same personnel who carried the Bears to 17 wins, a spot in the Atlantic Sun conference tournament, and the team's best season in over 15 years in 2008-09.
By all accounts, the camps have been a rousing success, with several local coaches commenting that it was the best camp they have ever been to.
The Mercer camps continue through Saturday.
