3. Sports Camps
TARGET: Youth aged 12-19
Use sports as an avenue to facilitate the awareness of how each youth’s ambition and abilities can be developed into a career in sports. The camp uses fundamental sports skills training paired with mental skills training to create self-awareness in a dynamic learning environment that allows them to practice leadership and teamwork on and off the court.
