NBA basketball talent is coming to town this weekend, and all young basketball players are strongly encouraged to attend the free event dressed to play and ready for a fantastic, fun experience.
Island Hoops, a Sint Maarten youth basketball academy, presents the second annual Iman Shumpert Youth Basketball Camp. The two-day affair will take place at Melford Hazel Sports Complex on Soualiga Road in Sucker Garden September 6 and 7 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
This isn’t just any basketball camp. Island Hoops is bringing it. On board for the clinic are New York Knicks guard Iman Shumpert, Indiana Pacers forward Chris Copeland, overseas basketball star Corey Williams, some pro-level trainers/instructors, with support from national NBA analyst and InsideHoops.com founder Jeff Lenchiner.
“Aim. Aspire. Achieve.” The Island Hoops motto is well-incorporated into the camp. Young players are taught key basketball essentials and given the tools, knowledge and inspiration for life, achieving goals on and off the court, while raising their basketball level of play.
The camp’s first day will focus primarily on instruction, with players shown how to properly stretch and warm up, and put through drills teaching proper shooting, passing, dribbling, rebounding and defense. The second day will feature a recap of the key drills, with additional instruction, and games. Both days are worth attending.
All in all, a great, rare, free event that Island Hoops, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Youth & Sports Affairs as well as the Ministry of Public Health, Social Development & Labor Affairs, the Soualiga Youth Basketball Association and various sponsors, are proud to present.
