For the past 6 years, young men from our Son's of the King group have participated in a three day "basketball camp" to kick off the Son's of the King program. During these three days, the boys not only learn basketball skills, but also discover what it means to live a life of integrity and honor for the Lord.
This year, our group of 12 boys was more diverse than ever before. Several of our boys have participated in the camp in the past, but many of our new Son's of the King members are not only are "newbies" to the program, but are also new to the sport of basketball! Five of the young men moved to the United States from Africa within the last 2 years where soccer is their sport of choice (I had to laugh when I heard one of the coaches say..."now boys lets make sure we don't kick the basketballs okay").
It was a great week and a lot of fun to watch the boys get to know each other and form relationships with their coaches. Thanks so much to coaches Charles Neville, DeMarco Coleman and Tyler Bannister for making the week such as success!
