MEB Camps Conclude In CO, TN & OK; Convention Kicks Off Camps In NE

LAST WEEK:

Satellite camps in CO, TN & OK finished successfully and fueled excitement for what is to come in this 2013 camp season. The coaches running the camps felt confident they made an impact during their time in the gym.

Brad Schmit, Co-Owner of MEB and Asistant Men’s Basketball Coach at Montana State University Billings said, “Working in areas of the country that we have not been in before has been a great experience for the programs we have been fortuante to work with and the staffs involved with the camps. All of the high school coaches have been thrilled with the team and individual development that their programs recieved from the MEB instructors!”

Coach Kyle Blackbourn tweeted out from Hoehne, CO.

“Great camp with the Hoehne Farmers! The Girls brought energy and definitely improved! #FarmerPride #TeamMEB”

After three days at Chuckey-Doak HS in TN, Coach Evan Lavery said, “The players worked with consistent effort and attention to detail!” and Coach Scott Suchy said, “The kids were working hard to improve on all aspects of the game.”

While running the camp in Chandler, OK, Coach Tesdahl took a few minutes to interview three girls from the basketball program. Their testimonies reflect the success MEB had on their program.

“I think it’s really cool. I’ve learned a lot and they (MEB) have made everything fun.”

“It was really fun and we learned a lot of defense and offense we can use to improve our skills.”

“I think this was the best camp I’ve ever been too. I’ve learned a lot and I recommend this camp.”
