Happy Birthday
Andrew and Zack!


The Missouri Athletic Club and Totally Groomed Pros Sports Camp was very proud to host Zack, Andrew and friends at a birthday sports camp. All of their friends came ready to hoop it up and dodge around. Coach Saxton was fired up to brush up on a few skills of all the participants. We all know speed is the key in almost every sport. After a few short speed drills and a couple of quick moves they were ready to implement those skills in a full court press. “Look at them go,” one of the parents/spectators said. What a way to work up an appetite before halftime and some marvelous birthday cake!
