The 28th annual Camp of Champions will be taking place next week at Coffeyville Community College.

 

A youth basketball camp run by Red Raven Hall of Fame coach Jay Herkelman, campers will also receive instruction from assistant coaches from both the men's and women's basketball teams, and even some of the players themselves.

 

Herkelman says a primary focus of this camp is to teach the kids the importance of the fundamentals.

 

Children 15 and younger are eligible to attend, and all skill levels are welcome. Herkelman says he's seen kids go from one end of the gym to the other.

 

A camp that he's overseen since his first year as Red Raven head coach, Herkelman has felt it was always important to give back to the community. He says his favorite part of the camp is seeing the kids improve throughout the week.

 

The Camp of Champions runs from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. Monday-Thursday of next week. Cost to register is $100, and you are able to register at the door on Monday morning at Nellis Hall, or register online on the CCC athletic website.
