The Point Guard Skillz Camp, hosted on October 11th, 2020, involved 20 young ladies seeking to sharpen their point guard skills and grow as maturing young ladies. It included various skill development drills (both offensively and defensively), engaging team development exercises, lectures from previous D-1 and professional female athletes, and special EYA Sports gear given by our sponsors. The purpose of this camp was to cultivate an atmosphere of elevating each other, supporting each other’s successes, and creating an environment where iron sharpens iron. Residents of the Atlanta area applauded the camp, exuding efforts to showcase exactly what it takes to play collegiately and be an extension of his/her respected coaching staff in their own journeys. Awards were given to players for an exceptional showcase of talent; including the “Point Guard of the Camp” and “Queen of the Court”.
