Basketball Camp

The Annual Joe Farroba Basketball Camp is a great success. The camp, held in August every year with both local and overseas coaches, gives the youth of the island a wonderful experience. They learn what it takes to be successful on the court, and also learn virtues that they can build on to improve their entire lives!

The youth are very grateful that the coaches give their free time to come to Anguilla and teach them new basketball skills.  In addition, some of the youth have also expressed appreciation for the sponsorship and donations that allowed them to take part in the Annual Joe Farroba Basketball Camp.  To quote one of the recipients of a donation this year “…you may not know me but I would like to say that I’m truly grateful for your kindness of your heart to sponsor me … to go to summer basketball camp… [Through] your kindness I was able to learn the basic basketball skills & drills that in the future would be helpful to making me a professional basketball player“.
