Necessary arrangements have been concluded for the third edition of  an annual youth basketball clinic billed for Thursday through Saturday at the Lagos State Sports Council, Rowe Park, Yaba, in an event organised by Zion Sports.

The Project Coordinator, Zion Sports, Befeofori George, said on Monday that the third annual Zion Youth Basketball Camp would focus on developing the skills of young basketball players from a tender age.

George, said the objective of the basketball camp was to help the youths to acquire skills to build valuable careers in life, adding that the clinic would focus on pupils from the secondary schools in the boys and girls Under 12 categories.

The coordinator,  said the camp which was tagged "Catch Them Young " would provide a platform for the young basketball players to garner basic skills that would prepare them for the future challenges, stressing that the recent decline in sports in the country was as a result of neglect of sports developmental programmes.
