Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT
South), the concessionaire for the Cavite-Laguna
Expressway (CALAX), the
Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX), and its
C5 Link Segment, extends
its support to the young
athletes within its communities by organizing a
two-leg basketball camp
in collaboration with NLEX
Road Warriors (NRW) and
CAVITEX Braves, the professional basketball team
owned by NLEX Corporation.
The basketball
clinics were held at Cittadini School Gymnasium
in San Pedro, Laguna last
June 10 in partnership
with La Marea Homeowners Association, and
in General Trias Sports
Complex last June 17, in
partnership with the City
Government of General
Trias through the initiative of Honorable Mayor
Luis “Jon Jon” Ferrer and
Board Member Maurito
“Morit” Sison. Through the
clinics, aspiring young athletes aged 7-15 from the
communities had an opportunity to enhance their
skills and learn from NRW
and Cavitex Braves players and NRW basketball
clinic coach, Coach Ford
Arao.
During the said
clinic, campers were divided into teams and embarked on an immersive
journey at the basketball
camp. They had a rewarding experience, participating in a wide range of
dynamic drills and exercises that honed their fundamental basketball skills.
From mastering dribbling
and passing techniques to
improving their defense,
rebounding, and shooting
abilities, the camp provided a comprehensive learning platform for the young
athletes.
“We at MPT
South recognize the importance of sport in promoting physical fitness
and character-building for
our youth. Hence, in partnership with NLEX Road
Warriors and Cavitex
Braves, the clinic aspires
to provide an enjoyable
environment where these
kids can learn basketball
skills and develop character to help empower them
on and off-court” said MPT
South Vice President for
Communication and Stakeholder Management, Arlette
Capistrano.
Aside from the basketball clinic itself, participants of the basketball camp had a chance to listen
and learn from inspirational talks of NRW and CAVITEX
Braves basketball players. Friendly games were also
conducted between the aspiring athletes for them to
have a full experience.
The successful basketball clinics organized received commendation from its LGU partners, highlighting the positive impact on the community’s youth.
“We extend our sincerest gratitude to MPT
South for their outstanding efforts in organizing this basketball clinic. The impact of this initiative on the children
in our community cannot be overstated.
By providing them with this opportunity to enhance their skills, particularly in fostering camaraderie,
MPT South is playing a vital role in helping these young
individuals build a solid foundation for their sports aspirations,” said General Trias Mayor Luis “Jon Jon” Ferrer.
“It is through initiatives like these that we witness the
power of collaboration and the positive impact it can
have on the lives of our young athletes. MPT South’s
dedication to creating opportunities for our community’s
youth is truly commendable,” said General Trias Board
Member Maurito “Morit” Sison.
