Imagine waking up in the morning and having your mom drive you to your sports camp on the way to work.

Now imagine that the first face you see is the Flyers' star winger Rod Brind' Amour.

Many children this summer will know exactly how that feels when they go to "Coaches' Choice" sports camp, held at Cabrini College over the summer.

According to the camp's promotional brochure, '"Coaches' Choice' is founded on the principle that great coaching by outstanding college coaches and professional athletes is the primary factor in helping young people gain the very most that sports can offer."

"Coaches' Choice" sports camps will be held at Cabrini starting June 23 and continuing through August 15 for boys and girls aged 6-15.

Along with the fun of playing sports, children have the opportunity to learn from many professional athletes such as Ty Detmer, quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, and Speedy Morris, men's basketball coach at LaSalle Univerisity.

Joining Detmer and Morris are many professional athletes and coaches, such as Doug Overton of the Philadelphia 76ers, coach Dave MacWilliams of the Philadelphia Kixx., Brind' Amour and Jay Sigel, a professional golfer.

Each year Les and Maddy Weiser, who both have many years of coaching, officiating and directing day and overnight camps, hold the sports camp, which focuses on
