​Some 50 young persons will participate in the 2nd Annual 767 Summer Youth Basketball training program, which is sponsored by Fine Foods Incorporated, with the aim to teach and improve the basketball skills of aspiring players and newcomers in the Roseau South community, and thereby offering them an avenue to learn about the game in a fun environment, & utilizing their time-off from school in a positive manner.
 
The program will run for five weeks where the participants will engage in various basketball training techniques. Founder of the program, Maggie Peters, noted that the first year of the program was a huge success, as many of the participating students went on to excel in their respective schools and communities.
 
Peters said, “Last year was our first year, and it was successful. We got a lot of good things from it. We had a lot of our participants making their school team, scoring points and being a great success. So, we are continuing into our second year. We are extremely happy that Fine Foods have come on board. They saw the potential in the program and came on board, and we are really grateful for that”.
 
Meanwhile representative for Fine Foods Inc., Juliette Martin told the participants the program will not only help them with basketball, but also with life, and urged them to enjoy the time spent at the camp, and to do their best to learn something new.
