Go to summer camp with the News

SUMMER IS approaching and the
North Shore News wants to help
send 20 youths to fun-filled sum-
mer camps where they can learn
basketball and volleyball skills.

Starting today, the News will be
giving away places in the popular
All-Star Basketball and Volleyball
Summer Camps that have helped
over 12,000 youngsters gain con-
fidence and skills in these two
widely-played, popular pastimes.

With a program designed for en-
joyment, skill development and
motivation, camp founder Dan
Miscisco realizes the participants
may not be champion material.

Fun learning is the emphasis at
the All-Star Basketball and
Volleyball Camps.

“The ultimate aim is,‘How can |
make these kids happy?’ said
Miscisco, who believes that if the

participants are well
they learn much better.

“If the instructors are en-
thusiastic then you get the motiva-
tion,’’ Miscisco explained. ‘‘Peo-
ple whe enjoy what they’re do-
ing...that helps motivate.’’

With an infectious enthusiasm
for the game, the camp’s instruc-
tors put their charges through
skill-building drills under realistic
game-like conditions.

“It’s a lot of drills, a lot of con-
ditioning,” he said of the summer
camps.

In basketball, where a steady
rhythm is all-important, Miscisco
uses music to help his hoopsters to
get the beat for dribbling the ball
down the court.

“They're working, they’re
sweating, but they’re enjoying it,’’
said Miscisco.

“They do work very, very hard

motivated,

and they are tired at the end of the
day.”’

Following his philosophy of pos-
itive motivation, Miscisco will
sometimes offer a surprise award
— usually a soft drink — for the
day’s most-improved player.

“There’s lots of recognition,”
said Miscisco, who likes to recali
the Grade 4 student who came to
his camp. Sweating it out with the
older kids, he never complained or
grumbled. One day, Miscisco
awarded the lad a special T-shirt.

“His mother called me a few
weekc later; she said he wouldn’t
take it off.”

ball camp,. while top provincial
