MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / September 21, 2023 / The energy was electric as 6x NBA All Star and Miami Heat superstar, Jimmy Butler, hosted his first Miami basketball and cheer camp for co-eds between ages 7 and 18 on August 26th and August 27th at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The camp, produced by Celebrity Sports Academy and presented by CEEK Metaverse hosted 300 campers, ranging in skill set from beginner to advanced. Over the course of the two days, basketball campers rotated through a Passing & Shooting Station, led by Triple Threat Basketball. Coaches from Elite Basketball Academy lead campers through ball-handling specific drills, improving technique and/or mastering the basics. Time spent at the Bommarito Performance Agility Station focused on speed, strength, mobility and footwork. Basketball tournaments were also played both days, under the camp’s Basketball Commissioner’s, Kodahmus Llongbey and Anne O’Neil. Cheer campers were instructed by 5 Star Athletics, learning the fundamentals, as well as a choreographed routine that they performed on the second day of camp in front of a packed crowd. Campers also spent time in the Sportology Classroom where instructor Jeremy Holmes of Treasureville Academy led student-athletes through the importance of mental mindset and the key steps to success, both on and off the playing field, such as Gratitude, Effort, Attitude and Coachability.
