ROCK SPRINGS – With only three seconds left, Kobe Bryant has the ball. He lines up and lets the ball fly. Going in slow motion, the ball hits nothing but net for the win. While mom watches out the window, she is unsure why her young son is screaming and yelling like he just won the NBA Championship.

Many young ballers dream of one day playing in the big game as they often emulate their hardcourt heroes. Parents can give their young ones the opportunity to start developing their basketball skills through the Rock Springs Parks and Recreation Department.

On Monday, the summer program will focus on basketball. The camp is Monday through Thursday at the Rock Springs Junior High. The camp starts at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 11:30 a.m. The camp is for player’s ages 5-years-old to 13-years-old. There is a $10 charge.

All participants must be registered by the morning of the event. There will not be afternoon registrations. There are also need-based scholarships for passes. For information on registration, scholarships or just basic information call the Rock Springs Civic Center.

All camps are for boys and girls who have the drive and desire to enhance skills or learn the game. Not only will participants learn skills, but will also learn teamwork and sportsmanship.
