Athletics camps scheduled

The start of school is just a few weeks away, but students can get a jumpstart on athletics with two camps scheduled for Friday, Aug. 12.

A Junior Bobcat football camp will be at the Hot Springs County High School practice field from 7-10 a.m., for those going into grades 3-8 this school year. Instruction will be by high school Coach Matt McPhie, and the high school coaching staff and players.

A Junior Bobcat volleyball camp will be at the high school gymnasium from 1-4 p.m., again for those going into grades 3-8 this year. High school head volleyball coach Shannon Hill, high school coaching staff and players will teach the fundamentals of volleyball.

Hill said passing, setting, hitting and serving will be the main points, and campers will get an idea of how Hill teaches, as well as familiarity with the game terminology. She hopes to see a lot of people sign up, not only for the camp but to grow the volleyball program as well.

Registration for either camp is $10, and can be done at the event or online at hscrecreation.com. Proceeds will go to the programs.
