We are back this week with some more reasons you should spend some time with us this summer.
Reason #44 - Go Bananas!
Go Bananas! Go Go Bananas! One of the all-time favorite camp cheers. We will get ‘em ready and warmed up in the morning with the Go Bananas cheer.
Reason #45 - Z-Out Rebounding
Campers will learn how to be dominant on the glass. Don’t wait for the ball to come to you. Go get it and snatch it out of the air.
Reason #46 - Go! Go Harder!
Another one of the drills the East Carolina players use to work on their handles. Campers will be explosive and efficient as they blow past defenders.
Reason #47 - Tim Duncan in the House!
It will be just like Tim Duncan is in the gym when Coach Macy demonstrates Tim's signature move. Once you get it perfected you will be unstoppable.
Reason #48 - Call the Fire Truck!
The gym will be on fire with made shots when Coach Macy teaches the Fire Truck shooting series.
Reason #49 - Think outside the Gym!
The
water balloon toss is a highlight of the camp. Campers and counselors
try to avoid getting wet but enjoying seeing how far apart they can get
without breaking the balloon. This is a must see.
Reason #50 - Kill the Grass!
Players get ready to get your feet moving. One of Coach Macy’s favorite dribbling drills is Kill the Grass. There will be no grass left when we get finished.

Countdown to Camp Continued
This week, we continue our countdown to camp with more reasons you should register (if you haven't done so already). It will be here before you know it!
Reason #51 - New basketball shoes!
Camp is a great reason to get new shoes. You can run faster and jump higher with a brand new pair of shoes for camp.
Reason #52 - Break time!
Campers look forward to break time to grab a snack or a drink from the snack shop. The snack shop is a great way for young campers to learn to manage their money.
Reason #53 - The clapping game!
No one can do the clapping game quite like Coach Macy. Campers will want to play everyday before we get stretched and loose.
Reason #54 - Musical chairs - basketball style!
Campers always request to play musical chairs. This drill is a great way to get the competitive juices flowing early in the morning while we work on our dribbling skills.
Reason #55 - KNOCKOUT!
Knockout is one of everyone's favorite shooting games. Don't get knocked out! Hey, Hey, Hey, GOODBYE!!!
Reason #56 - Challenge the coaches and counselors!
Campers will have the opportunity to challenge the staff in free throw shooting competitions, one on one or knockout! If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best.
Reason #57 - Get out of the house!
It won't be long after school gets out that you will hear, "I'm bored." Basketball camp is the perfect solution to the summertime boredom problem. We can guarantee your daughter won't be bored at basketball camp.

A: I made the C-USA All-Academic Team last year
Q: What advice would you give to future ECU student-athletes?
