United States college coach Katie Woodruff says Kenya has talented players but lack ball handling skills. She said the Kenyans have to improve on this area if they are to make it to US colleges and be among the top.<\/p>\n

Woodruff, who polished Kenya star Josephine Owino before she became the first player from the region to be drafted by the Women National Basketball Association (WNBA), said she is highly impressed with the talent among Kenyans girls.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“You have some very talented and tall players. They have the skills but they must be sound fundamentally and must work hard to polish their skills if they are to go far,” said woodruff after conducting a coaching clinic for high school girls at the Railways Club. She identified Zipporah Khasoya of Laiser Hill Academy and ex Langata High forward and Mercy Wanyama as the players who impressed her more during the during the camp.<\/p>\n

“When I worked with Zipporah while at Shimba Hills in 2009, she had just been introduced to the game of basketball but two years down the line she is a much better player with remarkable improvement,” said Woodruff of Union University, Tennessee.<\/p>\n
