WHAT IS THE ‘5 STAR CAMP’?

WHAT HAVE PAST ATHLETES SAID ABOUT ‘5 STAR’?

There were many different drills and different varieties. We covered all aspects of shooting, dribbling, passing and some defence. They were fun and simple to understand making them easy to do.

Honestly I don’t have three things to write down that I didn’t enjoy, except for going home with sore arms and legs I enjoyed everything about the camp, as soon as I got in the car mum would ask how it was and I always said I enjoyed it.
T.F (14 year old girl)

My shooting style was not perfect and the coaches picked up on that and changed it slightly so that I will become a better shooter.
