Bears Basketball team highlights from Billy Mim's Summer Camp 2016

We are the Bears Booster Club. We raise money to better the equipment and training for our players.

We are transforming the basketball players into strong young men through giving them every opportunity to develop their skills; both on the court and beyond. You can help make this possible by donating $5, $10, $20 or more. Every dollar donated helps bring us closer to going to new tournaments, getting new uniforms and providing one on one training for many of our players.

To run a successful program, we need good equipment, go to one or more tournaments before school starts, and prepare a budget for a several team tournament at the first of the school year. Have funds to send players to IMG Academy for training a very high level training and discipline Academy. It will also include mental strength for game time and how to deal with many stressful game situations.

Above is the Bears "Dr Dish" shooting machine and Vertimax machine in use. We would like to pay it off, as this machine provides a way for kids to train effectively and with more self involvement.

The team can train up to 10 shooters at a time shooting 3 point shots. Where as without, the process is slowed significantly.
Students can participate in free throw drills and have drill shooting contests from the floor. A single player can shot 100 shoots in 10 min using this piece of equipment. The end result of this efficency is increased muscle memory and improved shot performance.
You can see in the video, 10 players shoot on the "Dr Dish" while 5 players work their legs using the Vertimax jump machine. After 3 to 4 months of training with the Vertimax machine, a player can increase there vertical by several inches.

These two pieces of equipment ensure a successful program that helps youth and encourages sportsmanship for years to come.

The total amount needed to fund our program is $5,000. The Bears basketball team will spend 100 % of all money received from fundraising to development the players and pay off training equipment and uniforms, etc. We will need the money by 12/2/16.

When the players have good training equipment, challenging tournaments, and a potential for training on a one on one basis; their lives not only on the court, but off as well, are improved.

The players can not afford to do this on their own, and so outside fundraising is necessary . Overall, the team has purchased a "Dr Dish" Shooting Machine, a Vertimax Jumping Machine, and put together a travel team this last spring. We were able to send 11 players to Billy Mim's basketball camp this past summer where a total of 54 teams competed for a championship win.

Every moment spent training is a moment in a positive environment and will make a difference in each players future. Many of these players have raised money outside of grocery stores and restaurants to provide the team with training equipment, uniforms and more. We want to give them every opportunity to train so they can see for themselves that hard work pays off.

The players will always remember this opportunity and will be very thankful to all who donate.

By helping one young person at a time we will make a better world for all of us.

Thank You Very Much
