This past weekend, BC Wheelchair Basketball, in conjunction with Douglas College, hosted their 2008 Junior Camp and Coaching Clinic. With over twenty athletes in attendance, and a bevy of coaches, it was a fantastic, basketball-packed weekend!

Soon to be semi-retired Provincial Coach Marni Abbott-Peter organized the weekend, and helped Joe Higgins with instructing in the Coaching Clinic. Coaches from all over the province, including Kelowna and Kamloops, as well as Seattle coaches were in attendance. Not only in the classroom; coaches in the clinic also got a chance to try out their skills in the gym with the mini-age athletes.

Provincial Coach Cheryl Corrigan, with Regional Coach Pat Harris, John Lundie and Bob Thorpe kept the junior age athletes busy, as players from every region of BC attended the camp as part of the identification process for the 2011 Canada Winter Games. All in all, it was a successful weekend for all. BCWBS would like to thank all the coaches and parents in attendance, as well as Douglas College Facilities and Subway.
