WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – The defending Mountain East Conference champion West Liberty University women’s basketball team will host the annual WLU Women’s Basketball Camp July 12-14 at the ASRC.
Coach Lynn Ullom’s Lady Hilltoppers are riding high after sweeping the MEC’s regular-season and tournament championships to earn the 13th NCAA Division II Tournament bid of Ullom’s career. West Liberty advanced to the Atlantic Region semifinals before dropping a hard-fought 69-64 decision to eventual national champion California (Pa.).
The Hilltoppers finished with a 24-9 record – their ninth 20-win season in the past 10 years. The winningest women’s basketball coach in West Virginia history (496-227, .686), Ullom is now just four wins away from becoming only the 14th NCAA Division II women’s basketball coach ever to reach the 500-win milestone.
Ullom and assistant coach Kyle Cooper will be welcoming many of their top players back for the 2015- 16 season and several of those players will be on campus this summer as part of the instructional staff at the WLU Women’s Basketball Camp.
The camp, which will focus on individual skill development, is open to all girls entering Grades 3-9 in the fall. Each day will include age-specific skill development station drills along with multiple games and contests allowing each individual the opportunity to put those skills to the test in game situations.
Campers will be able to take a swim break in the afternoons before returning to the ASRC for more evening games. Activities planned following the evening games include a Movie Night, a camp social and plenty of interaction with the Lady Hilltopper players, who will be staying in the dorms with the overnight campers.
Cost of the camp is $150 for commuter campers, which includes lunch and dinner each day, and $200 for overnight campers, which covers all meals and lodging expenses. Campers must have proof of insurance and a recent physical.
Detailed information, coaches’ bios and secure online registration are available by logging onto the camp website: www.http://westlibertywomensbasketballcamps.com.
