Boys & Girls Clubs of North Louisiana will host its ninth annual Holiday Basketball Camp on FRIDAY, June 27th at the LA Tech Intramural Center. All sponsorships may be designated for locations where we now have Boys & Girls Clubs in our north central region: Arcadia, Dubach, Farmerville, Jonesboro and Ruston.
A total of 200 campers from all over north LA have already registered for this free basketball camp that includes not only meeting NBA Champion Justin Holiday but also receiving a camp shirt, lunch provided by The Springs Church and served by the Lincoln Parish Sheriff Department and of course an opportunity to hone their basketball skills. Justin shares his experience as a Club kid at the Boys & Girls Club of North Louisiana in Ruston, his life journey, his great love for family and his faith.

Justin Holiday resided in Ruston, Louisiana from 1995 – 1999. During that time, Justin and his family moved back to California in 1999 where he and his brother Jrue attended the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena. Justin and his family maintained many close friendships with families in Ruston and Justin even married former Rustonite and Ruston BGC kid Shekinah Seigmund.
After playing basketball for the University of Washington, Justin took his career overseas, playing for a professional team in Belgium. Holiday started his NBA career playing for the Philadelphia 76ers, later winning the 2015 NBA Championship with the Golden State Warriors.
