Great summer program for kids!

Looking for something for your child to do this summer?  Look no further than the You Gotta Believe Basketball Camp.  Whether your child is a beginner or advanced player, they do a great job making basketball fun and challenging each player to grow.

Andrea, a parent who sent her kids to YGB camp, said "It's only four hours a day.  My kids come home wanting more but it's convenient because camp is right between meals."  Bret says that camp goes by real fast because the schedule is full of exciting activities for the kids.  YGB and coaches use the basketball as a way of sending positive messages.

It is only natural that Bret runs these camps.  He has a lot to offer in terms of basketball development because of his professional basketball background.  "I really want to see the kids excited about playing basketball.  There are just so many life lessons through sports and it’s a privilege to be in this position to plant some seeds."

 

Bret is also a high school counselor, author and motivational speaker who cares about kids.  "He has a unique way of delivering positive messages through the basketball" says Andrea.  Bret says, "I am very fortunate to have some of the best leaders in the community help lead these camps.  It is important to me that our coaches are good role models who have the energy and enthusiasm to make a difference for our youth." 

Camp will be July 28 – Aug 1 from 1 – 5pm at War Memorial.

Space is still available at camp.  Please share with your friends and if you would like to learn more about this camp, Bret is happy to share.  You may reach him at (203) 725-6186 or email him at nicholsygb@gmail.com.  You may also visit the YGB website at www.yougottabelieve.info
