RUSTON, La. — Boys & Girls Clubs of North Louisiana will host its tenth annual Holiday Basketball Camp on Saturday, June 13, from 9 AM – 1 PM at the Louisiana Tech Lambright Intramural Center. This free event is open to kids ages 6-12 with any experience level, or none at all!
Hundreds of campers will get hands-on experience learning the fundamentals of basketball, running drills, and get to talk with NBA Champion Justin Holiday about his experience as a Club kid, his life journey, and his faith. Parents and guardians are also invited to meet with Justin’s parents, Toya and Shawn, to hear about their parenting journey and faith at 12 PM in the Lambright meeting room.
“Yes, our campers have tons of fun and learn a lot about the game, but they also get a once in a lifetime opportunity to talk with a true leader who’s encouraging, honest and so much more than just an NBA champion,” said Janet Wilson, Director of Development for Boys & Girls Clubs of North Louisiana. “Justin is so incredibly humble and his story is one of resilience and hard work. He really tries to impart to these kids that they can reach great heights, no matter what setbacks they might face.”
