Basketball Clinic for 500 school kids in Nigeria

Timeout4Africa Foundation continues to spread its mission all over Nigeria. In October our team made it all the way to Jos for a two day instructional clinic. We partnered with Bishop Kwash and his team at Zambiri school grounds in Nyango Chwel. Jos  for our " Growing the Game" series with 50 school kids.  Our team presented the team  with 120 T-shirts,  4 basketballs, and 10 pairs of basketball shoes.  The clinic was an instructional clinic where kids were taught life skills and  fundamental basketball skills. Our project leader Mrs Briggs was also on hand to make sure the kids were well taken care of and feed lunch each of the clinic days. The students were encouraged to be good citizens and stay in school, and to practice the spirit of sportsmanship when they are playing sports.

The Patron of the school Mrs Kwashi was very appreciative and also individually take the members of our team for making the 7 hour drive from Minna to organize the clinic.

In November during the clinic week, We identified about 40 school boys of the ages between 9 - 12 years, to join our juniors elite team. These kids  meet once a month with local coaches and some few volunteer parents to work on both life and basketball skills. We are happy to inform everyone the we see tremendous improvement  on and off the basketball courts. During the month of August we ran clinics and matches for the kids and at the end selected the best 12 players. These 12 players will represent Minna in the upcoming inter city championship.

We are also very happy to tell everyone that another student, Gideon, from our program has arrived in New Mexico, USA to attend junior college on an athletic scholarship. We will keep you informed on his progress in his school work and his performance with the school basketball team.
