The local Rockbridge Area YMCA hosts several camps throughout the summer ranging from sports and outdoor recreation to science and nature. This week of July 22-25 was tabbed as Sports Week and cadet-athletes and coaches from VMI’s basketball, baseball, track and field, wrestling and men’s and women’s soccer were asked to participate.

On Tuesday morning, the basketball team held a clinic at Waddell Elementary before the baseball team had an afternoon session with the kids.

The track and field athletes and coaches held a clinic Wednesday afternoon, and on Thursday and men’s and women’s soccer teams put on an event before wrestling took place in the afternoon.
