Hoopster’s Heaven has partnered with Velocity Sports Performance and will conduct the first “Back to School” Basketball Camp and School Supply Drive to benefit Charleston County Schools. Entry fee to camp will be school supplies.
All supplies and proceeds from this week-long camp, which will run from July 27-31, will be donated to area Charleston County schools.
The camp will be held at Velocity Sports Performance, located at 411 Wando Park Blvd., in Mount Pleasant.
The “Back to School Camp” was conceived and organized by James Lee, president of Hoopster’s Heaven and a longtime advocate of bettering the academic and athletic conditions for today’s youth.
“I know from experience how the combination of basketball and academics at an early age can have a lasting effect on the development of social and personal skills,” Lee stated. “Ultimately, communities need to be involved in the nurturing and growing process of our youth.”
