Hoops 4 Hunger Returns for Its Sixth Edition
The sixth annual Hoops 4 Hunger Basketball Camp will take place on August 1 at Yorkville Christian High School, offering a full day of skill development for boys and girls from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Morning and afternoon sessions are designed to sharpen fundamentals, with instruction from high school, collegiate and professional coaches who volunteer their time.
Each camper receives a branded T‑shirt and a regulation‑size basketball, while a special speed and agility station, sponsored by Schutt Sports Performance, tests quickness and explosiveness.
More Than Just Basketball
Beyond drills, the camp features guest speakers who share insights on sportsmanship and personal growth, and participants can compete for prizes that include autographed memorabilia and tickets to professional games.
A food‑drive component encourages attendees to bring at least one non‑perishable item, with extra donations unlocking additional rewards.
Community Benefits
All registration fees and collected food donations are funneled to local food pantries, directly supporting families in need throughout the region.
Organizers highlight the dual impact of the event: fostering athletic development while reinforcing a culture of giving back.
Registration is available online at yorkvillechristian.com under the Events tab, with a $20 fee per participant.
The camp’s success is also attributed to community partners and volunteers, including the school’s administration and local businesses that help spread the word.
For further details, interested families can contact the school’s athletic department or follow updates on social media.
