TIFTON — Chris Wade’s first basketball camp as head coach at Tift County High has a “little bit of everything” going on this week at Tift County High.

Wade started the four-day camp Monday morning with 42 young players. By Tuesday morning, he picked up one more.

Tuesday was footwork day, Wade said.

“All these drills are a different type of footwork,” he said.

Players worked with and without the basketball.

Tift assistant Dallas Neloms had one young group backpedaling and moving laterally after he showed them ball fakes. Groups under Wade and assistant Xavier Holmes worked on footwork while shooting.

Wade smiled as he noticed the shooting percentages of his section of players improving as they learned to quickly set their feet after receiving passes near the top of the key. Players did plenty of shooting at other stations, both jump shots and lay-ups.

Teamwork was a major part of the lessons.

Wade’s group moved around the court to deliver quick passes on the key. Holmes and Wade later instructed dribbling on the baseline under defensive pressure to set up passes to an open man.

Camp is open to boys and girls ages 5-13 and lasts from 8:30-11:30 a.m. each day through Thursday.

Known as the Blue Devils’ defensive coaching whiz, Wade said the players would work on defense in another session.

“Can’t leave that out,” he said.

Those drills would involve one-on-one work, closing out, and boxing out opponents around the rim on rebounds.
