Covenant alum and four year <a href="http://www.playvaba.org/">VABA</a> camp veteran Sam Dale has officially committed to play basketball at Hampden-Sydney College. Dale signed to HSC after playing two years at Allegany College of Maryland. Dale attributes his success to the years he spent attending the <a href="http://www.playvaba.org/">Virginia Basketball Academy</a>. "I learned how to push myself and endure adversity to achieve success" Dale remarks "The coaches at VABA taught me how to be competitive....not just in basketball but in life as well. The coaches inspire you to work at your maximum potential." <br />
<br />
Sam has definitely achieved success in his career up to this point. He was a 3 year veteran at The Covenant School and has transferred that success into his early collegiate years. He was ranked sixth in the nation in the JUCO division in Free throw percentage as well as being a primary scorer for the team. He also contributed 6.5 rebounds per game as well as 3 assists per game.<br />
<br />
After Graduation, Dale aspires to be a coach at the College level.Virginia Basketball Acadmeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06897206943966481219noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1458079390889262551.post-13841928043292821322012-05-23T11:08:00.001-07:002012-05-23T11:08:03.667-07:00Advanced Skills Camp <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><b><span style="line-height:115%"><a href="http://c2971522.r22.cf0.rackcdn.com/YhEJBSVQ9fUFXJWhDC0m.pdf" target="_blank">AdvancedSkills Youth Camp</a>, </span></b><span style="line-height:115%">July 24 – 27 </span>(Tues - Fri)<span style="line-height:115%"></span></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span style="line-height:115%"><span></span></span><span style="line-height:115%">*Boys, Grades 6 – 8</span></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span style="line-height:115%"><span></span></span><span style="line-height:115%">*A four-day, DAY camp for the middle-schooler who is intense, serious and committed to improving his game!</span></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span style="line-height:115%"><span></span>*8:30 – 4:30 pm, Bring or buy your lunch daily.<span> </span>Great coach to camper ratios!</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><font><span style="line-height:115%">*Click on link above for rates & more info.

VABA's Summer Skills Academies have fast become one of VABA most popular summer programs. Why? Well, families get to customize their schedule by choosing the dates that work best for them (1 - 4 weeks, 1 - 3 days per week), while also finding an affordable, positive, fun outlet to play basketball and develop skills. Not to mention, Academy sessions take place in the middle of the day, in an air-conditioned gym with top-notch instructors!
