Basketball camp well-attended

Basketball camp well-attended Deutsche Höhere Privatschule (DHPS) and the Basketball Artists School (BAS) hosted their third collaborative camp from 30 May to 1 June.

The three-day camp, which featured 100 players aged seven to 18 and coaches, was held at DHPS.

Basic dribbling skills, passing, shooting and ball-handling were taught. Different contests and games were played, and through these, the winners of the five trophies participants competed for were determined.

The winners were Zuleika Hiwilepo (most improved female), Elias Lagvardi (most improved male), Zunaid Benjamin (best shooter), Rayhan Poonja (most valuable player and most valuable male player) and Ashley Linda (most valuable female player).

The success of the camp was made possible by the assistance of DHPS principal Kristin Eichholz, Melusi Linda (DHPS sports coach), Ramah Mumba (BAS director), Malakia Matias (BAS coordinator) and OTB Sport.

When asked about the camp, 12-year-old participant Nathan Mungunda said: “I enjoyed the camp so much and I learnt how to play like LeBron James. I can't wait for next year's camp.”

BAS is an afterschool programme focusing on education, life skills and basketball for children and youth in Katutura. For more information you can find them on Facebook at Basketball Artists School or on Instagram.
