Head coach Buzz Williams likes to get the new
season underway at Training Camp, which
consists of a three-day weekend at an offsite
location. This year, the team spent a weekend in
October in the mountains near Bluefield, West
Virginia. The team loaded up in an old yellow
school bus and made their way into the woods.
With no televisions, no cell service and none of
the other daily luxuries of campus life available
to basketball players at Virginia Tech, the team
spent time connecting with each other at the
camp and gym.
Practice away from Blacksburg gives the team a
different feeling. Training Camp provides a great
opportunity for the players to connect, bond and
enjoy their time away from campus. Through it
all, the players leave with better relationships, a
few laughs and a greater appreciation of all the
amenities they are privileged to receive.
