We have made it to Valle (about an hour from Riga) for the first 3-Punkt basketball camp. This is a very small, rural community with just a couple of small stores and the rest is the ever-present apartment complexes that are so prevalent in Latvia.
It seems like we will have about 45-50 players from age 10-23. There is also a soccer camp being conducted at the same location and we are sharing training and dressing facilities.
First up for the entire group will be team-building exercises. Each group is given a task and they have to work as a team to successfully complete the activities. It looks like we have some good kids and the leaders have done a good job of organizing.
After supper, my job will be to organize the entire group of basketball players into try-out sessions so the coaches can evaluate them and put them into the proper skill level groups. I'm off to chow down on potatoes and meat gravy...ata!
