ABOUT
The summer camps and fall clinics were founded in 2006 by current Haverford High School girls basketball coach, Lauren Pellicane, and local youth basketball coach, Kirsten Lawson. The week-long summer camps and fall clinics are now held annually at Haverford High School's Juenger Gymnasium. The camps and clinics aim to teach basketball skills and fundamentals while fostering a competitive and fun atmosphere for all players. We are committed to helping shape an environment that prioritizes health and well-being of young athletes while stressing sportsmanship, teamwork, enthusiasm and a positive attitude on and off the court.
