MVP Sports Academy

Summer Just Got Better. Summer Camp back at MVP! For you, it's about keeping your child active, healthy and happy. For them, it means no school, lots of activities, and fun! Mvp Summer Camp is an athletic-based camp dedicated to a full menu of team sports designed for children from Kindergarten to 6th grade. Mvp Summer Camp is about so much more than winning and losing - it is about teamwork, playing hard and playing fair. It's about making new friends and enjoying the camaraderie formed through athletics. A camp that is as encouraging as it is challenging, as safe as it is high-energy and as instructional as it is fun. We're qualified sports nuts!!! Just like our campers, we eat, sleep and breath sports. Our staff is filled with professional coaches, high school and college athletes, as well as experienced P.E. teachers who promote the fundamentals through personalized instruction and positive reinforcement - all while maintaining a sense of humor! No matter the skill level of a child, the goal remains the same: to have a great time, while learning the value of teamwork and good sportsmanship. All of which results in a positive, self-esteem building experience.

ObituaryMaurice Irwin &ldquo;Win&rdquo; Gould, Jr.
Maurice Irwin &ldquo;Win&rdquo; Gould, Jr., of Punta Gorda, Florida, formerly of Lake Bluff, Illinois, and native of East Aurora, New York, passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 13, 2026.
Win was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and lifelong maker. He was predeceased by his wife, Marilyn, and his beloved dog, Molly. He is lovingly remembered by his children Tom, Todd, and Betsy, and by many grandchildren who brought him great joy.
A meticulous craftsman, Win found deep satisfaction in building architectural models and intricate ship models, and he spent countless hours painting and restoring classic automobiles&mdash;especially his cherished MGBs. His work reflected a patient hand, an exacting eye, and a steady generosity in sharing his skills and stories with family and friends.
Win&rsquo;s warmth, quiet humor and dedication to his passions left a lasting impression on all who knew him. He will be remembered for his careful workmanship, his love of beauty in small things, and the steady presence he provided to his family.
