GILROY – Now that Gilroy High’s got him as its new boys hoops coach, area youngsters will also have the special opportunity to learn from former NBA and college star Bud Ogden.
The Gilroy High Basketball Camp – called ‘Substance Over Style’ – provides instruction for players of all skill levels for incoming freshmen to high school seniors – emphasizing individual improvement, fundamental skills, teamwork, sportsmanship, and, most of all, respect for the game and their opponents.
Sessions – which are on August 7-8 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. – will take place at Gilroy High School. Camp T-shirt and lunch will be provided. The cost for the camp is $100 ($105 for non-residents).
