Jerod Haase speaks to campers and signs autographs during the Ninth Roy William's Kansas Basketball Camp in Allen Field House, which runs from June 15 to June 19. The camp emphasizes fundamentals, as well as how to succeed outside of basketball. Haase's talk focused on setting goals and living up to those goals. Former Kansas Guard Jacque Vaughn spoke to the group yesterday. The camp is for anyone 8 to 19 years old.

Basketball camp invades Field House
But the athletes making these sounds were not members of a KU team. They were 229 girls ranging in age from 8 to 18.
Three times a summer for four days each session, Kansas women's basketball coach Marian Washington holds a basketball camp. Her first session took place last week. This is her 23rd camp.
Allen Field House sounded like a basketball game again last week.
Alisa Ross, a 17-year-old Topeka resident, has attended for nine years.
Athletes yelled. Gym shoes squealed.
Coaches shouted for more effort.
This is how we do it
"It gives me a lot of inspiration," she said. "The coaches give me inspiration to suck it up and keep playing."
Ross said campers up at 7:30 a.m. and spent a full day learning about basketball. They spend most of the morning on drills and fundamental lessons, but evenings are filled with full speed basketball games.
The camp costs $310 for overnight campers and $230 for day campers, though most girls prefer to spend the night.
In addition to teaching fundamental skills.
"I have someone on my staff who is responsible for canvassing the country to find the great teachers and to keep them coming back," said Washington. "Obviously, I also like to get my players involved. Our players do a great job with the girls."
The camp staff is primarily made of high school and college coaches who already have experience teaching basketball to young girls
The camp has grown each year.
"Early on we were working hard to generate interest," she said. "My first year there were 32 girls there. It has taken a long time for the girls to respond to it. You see that reflected in the numbers we have here. I think this is going to turn out to be my largest year."
Washington said she was excited about the
In addition to the normal staff the advanced camp will have instructors who will be players in the Women's National Basketball Association and the American Basketball League, both fledgling female basketball leagues.
"They will primarily be players who are at least 15 years old and have varsity experience," Washington said. "We will approach them like our own team and work them hard. It could be a recruiting tool in the future."
Washington first had the idea for a summer basketball camp in 1974 when she was the women's director of athletics at the University. She originally started several camps in different sports as a means of generating revenue. After finding additional funding two years later, Washington turned the camps over to the individual coaches of each sport.
Mahood saw other advantages that both camps offer aside from the obvious.
"It helps our attendance more than anything else," Mahood said. "The enthusiasm for women's basketball is at an all-time high because of last year's Olympic team."
The girls seem to be enjoying Washington's camp.
"It's very, very fun," said Halston McAtee, a 12-year-old Lawrence resident. "I really like the coaches. They are very nice and they teach you a lot."
Washington will hold additional camps from June 22 to 26 and from June 29 to July 3. The advanced camp will be held from June 26 to 29. Those interested can contact the women's basketball office.
Washington schedules a guest speaker every day to give the girls a different perspective on the game. Past speakers include former KU basketball player Lynette Woodard.
