CAMP NOTES
The purpose of this camp is to learn basic basketball fundamentals such as shooting, finishing, ball handling, and live gameplay. Camp will be a good time to train in an energetic and fun environment, and compete against others and against yourself. This camp will be run by our high school coaching staff, as well as some of our current high school players and alumni. This will be a great time for young players to get introduced to our AHS basketball program, and have fun in a highly competitive environment.

Our local United Way branch is partnering with Dolly Parton Imagination Library. If you have children under the age of 5, sign them up for 12 free books a year until they are 5 years old.
