The Pickens Dragons hosted the annual traditional camp for youngsters, as well as the annual middle school summer league “for serious basketball players that want to improve on their skills to prepare them for middle school and high school competition.”

Both the camp and league featured coaches made of Coach Brad Steinhauer’s staff, as well as players from the Pickens High School basketball team. Steinhauer acknowledged that having the players help with the coaching has a positive effect on the children in attendance as well as in the community in general.

“I think it helps mostly for the kids to see them as mentors.”
