So you have
to start somewhere, and Xavier Prep is putting a group of about eight young
players (grades 6-8) through basic drills at its annual summer camp at the XCP
gymnasium. The camp is being held in the middle of the afternoons. Instruction
began Monday (June 11) and continues through Friday (June 15).
This year’s
camp is being led by former Xavier coach Nancy Meyer, with assistance from
Gators soccer coach Barb Chura.
Some of the
introductory work involved using a grip on the racket that has positioning
similar to shaking hands with another person. The players hit the bird back and
forth without a net at first, then graduated to the courts with nets.
Also on the
agenda was the thought process of where to send the bird over the net after
making initial contact on the serve.
Perhaps we
will see some, if not all of these girls, play for Xavier in future years.
