Tyra (Buss) Davison and her husband, Brad Davison, are once again hosting a youth basketball camp at Wabash Valley College in Mt Carmel, July 30-31. There are two different age groups.
Tyra and Brad have both been playing professional basketball in Spain after very successful college careers at Indiana (Tyra) and Wisconsin (Brad). Here is an opportunity to learn basketball skills from two outstanding players who are still doing it.
Due to popular demand, this year they are adding incoming Freshmen too. So now, any boy/girl becoming a Freshman can also sign up for the Davison GRITT Skills Camp.
Reminder: Limited spots available so make sure you sign up ASAP. For more information, check out the post on the WFIW Fackbook page,.
