St. Louis Community College is offering a basketball camp for girls ages 9 to 13 July 16-20 at the college’s Forest Park campus, 5600 Oakland Ave. 

The camp, which runs 9 a.m.-4 p.m., will be conducted by Melanie Marcy, the Archer women’s assistant coach.  In her three seasons as an assistant coach, STLCC teams have captured back-to-back Region XVI championships and earned trips to the 2011 and ’12 National Junior College Athletic Association Women’s Division II Basketball Tournament. 

Participants will learn the fundamental skills of the game such as agility, footwork, rebounding and shooting, physical and mental game preparation, as well as offensive and defensive strategy. 

Camp fee is $170 per player; child care is available before and after sessions for an additional $30. For more information, contact Marcy at 618-719-4933 or by email at mmarcy1@stlcc.edu.
