Ellie White Shines At Jimmy Jumpshot Basketball Camp
I thought of Ellie White and contacted her parents who quickly replied and excepted the place.
I have just received the following from Jimmy. Go Ellie we are so PROUD of you!!!! Mrs Shaw
Ellie White Shines At Jimmy Jumpshot Basketball Camp
Ellie White, a four foot something Year 5 at Old Basford School is living proof of the saying, " you don't have to be tall to be good at basketball!" But you do have to be skilled ! Ellie certainly showed everyone at Jimmy Jumpshot's Basketball Camp at Jesse Gray School over February Half-Term that she's got the skills to be successful in this popular team sport.
Ellie was named Most Outstanding Female Player resulting from a sparkling all day performance which saw her win the Free Throw Contest scoring 9 out of 10 free throws and dazzling all comers in the Level 2 Pirates Dribbling Contest which she won as well. Ellie then followed this up by carrying the scoring load for her camp team in the league play-offs.
Camp Director Jimmy "Jumpshot" Smith said, " Ellie has as much talent as I have ever seen and for her age she can focus on what she has to do as well as anyone in her age group.She is just fun to watch and a joy to coach.When we were selecting the awards my assistant coach put her forward for "Most Outstanding" before I could say anything.Based on her performance she deserved the award.She will be a huge asset for any team she plays for and I wish her every success in the future."
