The sounds of basketballs bouncing echoed throughout the Courter Athletic Pavilion this past week for the annual Bellevue Bulldogs youth basketball camp.

The camp was led by Bellevue Bulldogs basketball head coach Jeremy Eggers and longtime assistant coach Marcus Fermon. The 2015-16 season will be Fermon’s sixth season as an assistant coach for the Bulldogs’ basketball program.

“As a coach, it’s your job to get them to learn and understand the game,” Fermon said.  “We have a great range of kids with different skill sets here at camp.”

The camp focused on the fundamentals of basketball as well as games sprinkled in to keep the campers focused.

“We mix in fun competitive stuff after drills. We will do 30 minutes of skill work and after that we will throw in some type of game in there for fun,” Fermon said.

Fermon was glad to see three Bulldogs’ current players in attendance sharing their basketball knowledge with the youthful players in attendance.

“Its huge for some of them to help out. It allows them to understand how things are more from a coaching standpoint,” he said. “It allows them to understand what we as coaches are asking from them as players too.”
