After visits to both Pohnpei and Chuuk last year, and a
visit to Kosrae earlier this month, Youth Team Sports (YTS) has arrived in Yap to continue their basketball clinics involving
coaches and a camp for children.


With past NBA players David Wood and Todd Fuller there is no
shortage of expertise from the group of 6 American Basketball Coaches. Their
program consists of conducting a coaches course over a 4 day period, followed
by a 3 day camp for the local children of Yap.
This camp will involve 300+ children from all over the island with the local
Yapese coaches taking the lead throughout the camp. The camp will run from
Wednesday 25th to Friday 27th June at the Yap Sports
Complex and all participants are welcome.


Although basketball experts, the visiting American coaches
will be emphasising the development of important life skills such as character,
attitude, commitment and honesty that the game of basketball teaches us. Many
of the coaches currently involved in the coaches course have already learnt
some valuable lessons that will no doubt assist them to achieve their full
potential in all areas of life.


The coaches will be in Yap until Saturday 28th June 2008, if you seem them around be sure to
say hello and have a chat. They are very friendly.
