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“.

The JC Recreational Centre, Sports Department and Joe Farroba would like to express sincere thanks to the following sponsors who help to make the camp a success:

Mark Silva & Ben Perez for providing free accommodation for the coaches; Joe Farroba for the donation of basketballs and T-shirts; the Coaches – Don Byron, Brian Ferris, Dave Barnett, Ian Connor, Delano Mussington, Simba Price; Department of Sports; Louis Price; Tackle Box Sports Centre; Digicel; Cuisinart Golf Resort and Spa; John Donahue – Athletic Director Wheeler School, USA; Neville Gumbs; Catalina Hawley for assistance with camp registration, E’s Oven and Veya Restaurant for each generously providing a delicious meal for the coaches; Arian Freight Services; Jewel Art and several other donors.
