Lady Bears legend Stiles hosts basketball camp at Willard
Local basketball legend Jackie Stiles delivered some specialized training to about 85 local children during a basketball camp she held at Willard Middle School on Saturday, March 11. The camp was open to children attending grades one through 12. According to a description of the workshop from Stiles' website at www.jackiestiles.com, the point of the basketball camp was to show participants "how to improve their fundamentals, how to execute a skill and the strategy behind it."
The Willard Parks Department partnered with Stiles to create the basketball camp.
Samantha Guinn, asst. parks director, said the purpose of the workshop was to inspire the kids while also teaching them some basketball fundamentals.
"Jackie is an amazing basketball player," Guinn said. "She's in the WNBA ... she's a local hero. (The camp) inspires the kids to keep working hard, (and it) gives them some great fundamentals and great things to practice through the summer before the next basketball season."
