Physically Fit 4 Hoops Hosts Annual Summer Basketball and Life Skills Camp

June 11, 2013; DETROIT, MICHIGAN: Physically Fit 4 Hoops is hosting the annual “Mind, Body and Ball” youth basketball and leadership camp July 8th through July 12th at Detroit Country Day (22305 W 13 Mile Road).  The camp will run from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and costs $180 per camper.  Deadline to register is July 5th (June 12th – July 5th all campers will receive a $60 scholarship towards the registration fee from Fit 4 Hoops).

Physically Fit 4 Hoops Basketball Camps are designed to bring out the best in youth: increased respect for sportsmanship, enhanced fundamental athletic abilities and a deeper understanding of teamwork and responsibility.   The camp is committed to providing participants with exposure to important life skills and providing support to local youth in the areas of mental fitness, nutrition, academic enrichment and community involvement as they move from elementary, middle, high school and beyond.  When available, scholarships will be awarded to eligible campers.  Additional scholarship opportunities are also offered.

“Physically Fit 4 Hoops is an organization that focuses on education both on and off the court,” said Shawn Fair, founder of the Physically Fit 4 Hoops basketball camp. “We want our kids to have a vision beyond the basketball court.  In addition to being physically fit, we want our kids to rely upon their minds before basketball or any other sport.  Each day, we have a topic for training and discussion that goes beyond the game of basketball.  If we don’t use this stage as a learning opportunity, an opportunity to focus on education, everyone loses.”

Physically Fit 4 Hoops will also expose campers to elite level sports training and conditioning programs throughout the camp such as basketball obstacle courses, timed drills, extreme ball handling drills and rigorous scrimmages.  All members of the coaching staff are NCAA certified.
