SUNY Oneonta Students Volunteer at Nike Sports Camp

Two SUNY Oneonta students were coaches in the first collaborative Nike multi-sport camp held on June 11 and 12 at Hartwick College. SUNY Oneonta Assistant Professor of Sport and Exercise Science Dr. Katherine Griffes, Hartwick Head Men's Lacrosse Coach and Assistant Athletic Director Don LaSala, Cooperstown All Star Village (CASV) and Nike Sports Camp developed the multi-sport camp for young kids.

Student coaches are Exercise Science majors at SUNY Oneonta who have taken courses in Human Growth and Development, Sport Psychology and Motor Learning.

The two-day camp provided a wide range of sports and basic movement activities for the siblings of kids in the area for the CASV baseball tournament. Some activities included basketball, soccer, kickball and football, endurance and agility games and drills and low-intensity activities like yard games and sidewalk chalk.
