What Parents Are Saying:"My boys have been attending your camp for years and my oldest is playing in the fall Sunday league. Everything about your camps and this league have been excellent. Our kids have played in a number of leagues with a number of different sports and unfortunately not all are run with the same detail, organization and commitment as we have experienced with Madonna basketball.
In addition, your players, particularly Josh and Arius, have been amazing. As a freshman at Plymouth, our son is preparing for basketball tryouts and Josh has been amazing. He’s not even his coach this fall and he has taken the time to watch him play and give him pointers. This positive interaction is amazing and has really helped him develop and understand what it will take to play at the high school level. Thank you for all you to develop these young men as players, but more importantly as good humans.” Sincerely, Erica “We just wanted to say thank you for having Owen at your camp!!! He really had a blast & of course wants to return.” Carrie "Just wanted to let you know my grandson had another wonderful experience at your camp. His excitement began on the first day and continued through the end. You and your team do an excellent job and he is already looking forward to next year. Can’t wait to see the improvements he’s made when this season begins." Stephanie “Coach Emenhiser, I wanted to tell you how much my son has enjoyed the Madonna All-Star Basketball Camp this week. He has come home each day with a smile and full of stories from the day. I have heard all about the tournament upsets, win-loss records, and the coaches' sweet dunks. Last night, he asked me if I could take him to camp early so he could participate in one of the pre-camp competitions. My husband and I are in awe with you and your coaching staff. We could not be happier with the camp. Thank you and we will see you next year!!!” Erin “Hi Noel, First, I just have to say what a fantastic time our son had at camp this week. I believe this is his 3rd or 4th time. He says this year was the best yet! Every day, he has come home with a story about camp (things he learned, things he accomplished better, Madonna players who taught him a thing or two, etc). In fact, he tells everyone! It's hard to get a word in edgewise (LOL). I can't thank you enough for all of your hard work in putting together such a great basketball camp. Your players are phenomenal and they are such great examples and role models to our son and all of the other boys. In fact, he talks so much about them that I feel I even know them. Please let them all know what a difference they make. I think that is so important for young men to have someone to look up to, especially in today's society.” Janet "I just wanted to write a note to thank you for a great Sunday Funday league. This is the first year that my son has attended the camp and participated in the Sunday Funday League. He was on Stephan Umphress' team for the 4th-6th grade league. I just wanted to let you know that Stephan is an amazing role model for these kids. Something as minor as dressing up for the first and last games made a big impression. The team never won a game, but not once did I hear any of the kids complaining about that. Week after week, Stephan was engaged, on his feet, with his clipboard, motivating the kids and feeding them with with positive reinforcement and constructive criticism in a positive way. He was upbeat...never questioning the ref's calls...showing the kids how to handle adversity in a positive way. I wrote him a note to thank him and let him know that he is making an impression on these young kids who look up to him, but I wanted to let you know as well. Thanks again,” Jill |
