WHAT PEOPLE SAY
NAM DO, PARENT
Going to Los Angeles gave them a greater exposure to a bigger community of basketball players, and the competition that's needed to take their game to the next level. This is not just in terms of basketball skills it is also in the training and endurance that allows the kids to grow as more than just a basketball player but also as a teenager and a person.
MAHIMA, STUDENT
The sports was good too, the sightseeing, to be with friends. I got closer to everyone there, and LA itself was so beautiful and so nice.
KAILLUM, STUDENT
Just the feeling to going to a place where basketball is at the highest level is numbing. It is amazing how basketball in LA is.
