TWO hundred boys, 6 to 18 years old, completed the Module 1 training of the Alaska Basketball Power Camp at Tay Tung High School, Bacolod last weekend as part of the Alaska nationwide outreach program for children.
The two-week long camp, designed by Philippine Basketball Association legend and Basketball Power Camp Director Jeff Cariaso, teaches the most important aspects of the game of basketball to boys and girls of all ages.
Alaska Aces’ assistant coach Topex Robinson, who gave participants certificates of completion, said the camps are part of the Alaska outreach program for children nationwide to have a fun and productive summer.
The Alaska Power Camp does not just teach basketball skills, it also instills the value of discipline, perseverance, teamwork and determination in children according to Robinson. Additionally, children learn importance of proper nutrition for their growth and development.
Tay Tung High School Sports Director Jose Montalbo said the school was proud to open its campus to camp participants from Bacolod City as well as the islands of Negros, Panay and Guimaras.
Alaska not only helps boys and girls become better athletes through the Alaska Power Camps, but also helps them become productive members of the community.
Alaska believes that sports play an important role in instilling the value of discipline, determination, hard work, teamwork and sportsmanship among the youth. These fundamental values develop character and are necessary attributes for success as much as good health and proper nutrition.
