Basketball Clinic for 500 school kids in Nigeria

Thank you for your generous donation in support of the Timeout 4Africa Foundation. Our basketball clinic extended over 1 ½ weeks filled with activities to develop basketball skills. We had over 500 kids from 12 secondary schools compete and attend the educational clinic. Approximately 500 kids participated in the grand finale and award presentation ceremony. 75  of participants received award prizes from the Washington Wizards. All attendees received a Timeout 4Africa drawstring bag with school supplies. Competitions included interschool competition, free throw contests, 3 on 3 contests and 3 pointer-shooting contests. All winners received game jerseys, basketball sneakers, and basketballs. Trophies were awarded to the most improved player, most valuable player, and the winning secondary school. Additionally, over 500 Timeout 4Africa t-shirts were shared with parents, teachers, and community spectators.

Mr. and Ms.  Adams , parents of one of the participants, expressed their gratitude appreciation for the work that Timeout 4Africa is doing in the community. Additionally the parents were thrilled to share that the Foundation has positively impacted their daughter  and provides added encouragement for him to perform better in school.

Hello Donors, 

Timeout4Africa Foundation continues to spread its mission all over Nigeria. In August our team made it all the way to Enugu in Eastern Nigeria. We partnered with Coach Chidozie and his team at the Nnamdi Azikiwe stadium grounds for our " Growing the Game" series with 100 school kids.  Our team presented Coach Chidozie with 120 T-shirts,                   4 basketballs, and 3 pairs of basketball shoes.  The clinic was an instructional clinic where kids were taught life skills and  fundamental basketball skills. The students were encouraged to be good citizens and stay in school, and to practice the spirit of sportsmanship when they are playing sports.
