CORVALLIS, Ore. - Registration is open for the 2014 Oregon State women's basketball summer camps, held throughout the second half of June. OSU head coach Scott Rueck, his staff and players will oversee all aspects of instruction.
The camp season opens on June 16 with the beginning of the Girls Hoop Camp. Running through June 19 and open to girls entering the third through ninth grades, the camp is designed to improve basic fundamentals, challenge individual skills and teach how to work in a team environment. Among a number of areas, instruction will be given in the areas of ball handling, passing, shooting and on-ball defense.
The camp will be held in Gill Coliseum and costs $140 before June 2 or $150 after that date. Families which register more than one child will receive a $20 discount on their second child, $25 discount on their third and $30 on their fourth child. Oregon State faculty and staff will receive a $15 discount. Third through fifth graders are scheduled from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. each evening in Gill, while sixth through ninth graders will go at the same time in Dixon Recreation Center.
Running concurrently with the Girls Hoop Camp is the Pee Wee Camp, which takes place on June 17, 18 and 19. Open to girls entering kindergarten, first or second grades, the instructional camp is designed to promote interest and skill development in the game of basketball. The goal is to introduce basic fundamentals and provide each child with a fun and positive basketball experience. Activities will include dribbling, passing, shooting, relays and shooting competitions.
The camp, which runs from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. each evening, will be held on the first floor of the OSU Basketball Center and costs $70 before June 2 or $80 after that date.

Oregon State women's basketball camps culminate with the High School Team Camp from June 29 to July 2, open to all freshman, junior varsity and varsity high school basketball squads. With a focus on development and team bonding, this camp features a highly competitive environment with leagues divided up according to level of play as well as a variety of game situations, scrimmages, full-length games, team practices and individual competitions.
OSU will also host a Shootout on June 7 where teams at any level (freshman to varsity) will play three games in one day for the price of $250. That schedule will also include a guards/post clinic ran by the women’s basketball staff.
