tion the way we set it up."
Henrickson said having players learn is the overall goal, but it's also beneficial for the coaches who attend. Henrickson said that the coaches who attend the camp are able to develop more aspects of the game and help train their own players at the high school level.
During the three-day camp, Henrickson and her staff try to instill as much as possible, but the ultimate responsibility for the development is on the players themselves. Henrickson said she loved the group of players that showed up because they are willing to put in the effort to make it at the next level.
"The energy, the commitment, the coach-ability, it needs to be fun," Henrickson said. "If you're working hard and you're enjoying it, it should be fun. That's all we ask from them, just be open-minded, give us great effort, be coachable and let us expose you to some new things possibly and grow."
MEN'S CAMP
Men's coach Bill Self hosted his own camp last week. This was open to all ages and gave campers a chance to spend time with the 2013-2014 Kansas team.

camps, but now that he's a member of the Jayhawks, he said he's tried making an emphasis to share what he knows to the current campers.
Not only did the campers get a chance to see the new team play on Wednesday, they also got to see a few former players scrimmage the new Jayhawk team.
One of the alums in attendance for the scrimmage was Tyshawn Taylor, a former point guard who now plays for the Brooklyn Nets.
Taylor said he enjoys camps, and being able to come back and give the kids a show just makes it a little better.
"I always love to come back to the camps and do this stuff," Taylor said.
One of the newest additions to the team, freshman guard Brannen Greene, said the camp atmosphere was what made it even more enjoyable.
"Whenever you have a bunch of kids in the stands going crazy on every shot, it's always fun," Greene said.
