So, living in Indiana, it is true about what they say about the love of basketball here. Practically every high school program has a camp.
This year was light.
Did the camp that is at the high school he'll attend. It's a politics thing so we go. As I said, they already know about my son. They do extra work with him there.
Did another high school camp that's local because last year he went and enjoyed it. The head coach there loves my son's game. Chopped it up with him last year, asked him what I could do to improve his game, his response was that there isn't anything I can tell you that you aren't probably doing right now.
Lastly, to get him better competition, I sought outside of this area. I went to Indianapolis, 2.5 hours away, figuring the bigger city, by law of averages, would have better players. They did but not what I wanted. It's called Point Guard University. 4 days, they actually do a great job of teaching the game. He dominated his age group so they moved him up to the middle schoolers and competed well.
I'm always on the hunt, looking for him to have someone to chase, to not be the best player on the court. I stay looking for his bogeyman essentially.
He just also had two tryouts, one for 5th grade and one for his travel squad, he made both. 5th grade team is running 8 deep this year, last year for 4th Grade was 10. Travel squad will be 8-9.
The time will come, if this keeps up for him, to eventually play where there is more than just parents in the stands.
