at Shivela Middle School- 41870 McAlby Court, Murrieta, CA, 92562.

Both camps will feature professional skills training, tournament-style games, contests, awards, a FREE camp T-SHIRT, and will be a great opportunity for players to develop their skills. Players are encouraged to bring new unwrapped toys to receive $15 off the normal camp fee of $50 for the full day, or $35 for half day (making this camp a steal at $35 for a full day, and $20 for a half day!) Elementary and Middle School boys and girls, ages 5-14, of all skill levels are invited to attend from cities all over the Inland Empire, including Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Hemet, Lake Elsinore, Corona, Moreno Valley, Riverside, and more.

With the support of great sponsors such as Sports Authority, Subway, Olive Garden, Smart & Final, and John’s Incredible Pizza, Genesis Hoops will be collecting toys at these camps which will be delivered to children at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital for Christmas. The President of Genesis Hoops, Rudy Brown, stated, “Our goal is to fill a pick-up truck with toys for delivery to the hospital on Christmas Eve. If we can do that, we know that Christmas morning will be a little happier for kids and their families who are unable to be home on the holiday. At the end of the day, everything we do at our company is meant to have a positive impact on the lives of children and young adults. This event allows us to touch many in a way greater than just basketball alone, and highlights the true meaning of the season.”

Be sure to check out this phenomenal event, full of action, fun and excitement, where players will improve their basketball skills while also supporting a great cause. For more information or to register, visitwww.genesishoops.com or call 951-977-3770.
