On Monday November 30  four UWRF falcon women players ran a practice for the River Falls 7th grade girls basketball team.  Lauren Pellowski, Tracie Gillund, Lindsey Olson and Tiffany Gregorich ran the practice.

“It was fun to do, I remember when I was young the Blugold players from Eau Claire would come to our practice.” said Tiffany Gegorich from Altoona. ” The players were fun to be with, they wanted to learn and work hard so that made it fun.”

The Falcon womens basketball team has a standing offer for all area youth teams within a reasonable distance from River Falls.

Coach Holbrook said “Our players are available to assist you at one of your practices. We think this is a great way to make a connection between our players and yours. We would like to have about 30 to 60 minutes of your player’s time to work on basketball drills and fundamentals. We will have some special things to offer your players too. “

We caught up with a Little Buddy that had a lot of fun. Watch her video here.

Little Buddies with their Big Buddies

The Falcon women’s basketball team completed the Falcon Basketball Buddy Camp this week. After five weeks of camp, the Falcon Little Buddies showed great improvement.  “I could see their confidence grow each week” said Coach Holbrook, “the buddies were hard workers and really improved each week. We played tons of games and had a lot of fun. I thought our Falcon players really enjoyed working with the kids.”

Several Falcon players had this to say about the camp.

“It was great working with the younger kids and connecting with the community,” said Junior Guard Tess Lardie.

Freshmen Guard Melissa Carmody said “It was fun to work with the girls. They were hilarious yet worked very hard.”

“It was great to be able to interact with the kids” said Senior Guard Jenna Hanson “because you can see how happy they are to hang out and play basketball with us.”

“My Little Buddy rocked,” said Freshmen Guard Nikki Guhr

Junior Guard Lauren Pellowski said “It was fun to work with all the kids and watch them have a good time.”

Brittany Gregorich a Freshmen wing player said “The girls had plenty of energy and were excited to be here. It made it so much fun for us. We hope to see them again soon at our home games.”

“It was so much fun I wish I could be a little buddy,” said Sophomore Guard Tiffany Gregorich. “My Buddy was just a blast to work with. I hope to watch them play this season and maybe they will come watch us play too.”

There you have it. A great Falcon Buddy camp said best by the players. Good luck with your basketball season Falcon Basketball Buddies.
