Summer Basketball Programs at Yuma Catholic
Yuma Catholic is opening its doors to young athletes this summer with two distinct basketball offerings designed to sharpen skills and foster a love of the game.
The Shamrock Skills Camp welcomes boys and girls entering grades three through eight and runs from June 23 to June 25, operating daily from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Participants will engage in fundamental drills, controlled games and direct coaching instruction, all aimed at building confidence and technique on the court.
The camp carries a fee of $200, payable by cash, check or Venmo, providing families with flexible payment options.
A separate initiative, the Cactus League, targets children entering grades four through six and spans the period from June 2 to June 25, featuring two games each week.
Registration for the league costs $100 and can be settled with cash, check or Venmo, allowing families to choose their preferred method.
Both programs share a common goal: to improve players’ abilities while ensuring a fun, supportive environment that encourages teamwork and sportsmanship.
For families interested in signing up or seeking additional details, Head Basketball Coach Thurman Schaetzle is the point of contact.
Coach Schaetzle emphasizes that the camps are about more than competition; they are about instilling lifelong skills and community spirit in the next generation of players.
