Hosted By LIFETIME | MINI COOPER
Recap photo of our NBA All-Star MINI Academy hosted by LIFETIME.
The selected youth were overjoyed to have the unique opportunity to showcase their basketball skills while driving the ball around the exclusive MINI vehicles, sponsored by MINI of Chicago. The MINI Academy offered them a thrilling experience as they got behind the wheel of limited edition models and indulged in the sport they love.
At the MINI Academy hosted by LIFETIME, basketball legend Michael Ingram imparted invaluable advice to the youth. He regaled them with tales of his travels, unforgettable games, and how he navigated life's adjustments, all while providing a wealth of wisdom.
During the MINI Academy, youth participants have the opportunity to showcase their skills and put their basketball training into action through interactive and exciting drills. One such drill involves the demonstration of court-style exercises that challenge hand and eye coordination, making the experience both engaging and stimulating. The MINI Cooper sponsorship adds an extra element of fun to the overall experience, elevating it to a truly unforgettable and enjoyable occasion.
Our experienced leadership team has been at the forefront of delivering exceptional programs and services for young people globally for nearly a decade. Comprising a dynamic group of professionals, they are steadfast in their commitment to advancing the sport of basketball across the world.
We are grateful to have former NBA player, Awvee Storey, as our distinguished guest at the NBA All-Star MINI Academy. His generosity in donating the shoes he wore during the event has made a lasting impression on the youth who attended. These shoes are now displayed in a glass case at the facility for all to admire and serve as a memorable reminder of the special experience. The impact that Awvee's presence has had on the young aspiring basketball players will not be forgotten.
