I got some info from Ashley Thomas, director of Bridge II Sports, about the program I mentioned in my last blog post. Below is more info about a program that is waiving fees for girls to attending a great basketball camp in Georgia (taken from the Sports N Spokes magazine):
Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute and the National Wheelchair Basketball Association (NWBA) invite Junior Division female players in ninth grade and up to the 2008 Southern Shootout, January 25-27, 2008, in Warm Springs, Georgia.
The $100-per-player registration fee will be covered for any Junior Division girl who wants to attend. Participants will be placed on All Star teams coached by Dave Kiley, Ron Lykins (USA Women's National Team gold-medal coach) and others, and will play against teams from the NWBA Women's Division. It will provide up-and-coming female players exposure to existing Women's Division teams, and the next level of play for these young athletes to work toward.
The weekend will simulate the basketball festival structure used in national team tryout camps and currently in place in the summers for the NWBA Men's Division.
The fee, which will be covered through the sponsorship participation of the Junior Division, the Women's Division, the NWBA, and ABC Medical Corporation, will include transportation to and from the Atlanta aiport, T-shirt and jersey, all games, housing for Friday and Saturday nights, and all meals beginning from dinner on Friday night to breakfast on Sunday morning.
The registration deadline is November 30, 2007. Contact Reenae White (reenae.white@dol.state.ga.us), Doug Garner (dgarner728@aol.com), or Brent Hardin (bhardin@bama.ua.edu).
