Lay-Up is a charity basketball organization that provides kids high quality programming from experienced and certified coaches, cost-free! Lay-Up aims to help kids develop important skills both on and off the court through basketball culture and creative workshops! Their camp located at West Hill Collegiate Institute gave kids the chance to meet their other kids, take place in a lot of fun activities, and stay active over the summer!

The average day at Lay-Up starts with freeplay where kids get to play basketball with each other before the day formally starts.

After that. The kids get into a circle, we’re given notebooks, and properly start the day off with their daily journaling session! This is where they had the opportunity to share something about themselves.

There were a variety of different activities taking place that day, including an enjoyably fast paced game of tag, and multiple basketball based games from individual matches to a dribbling minigame!

Today, Lay-Up got a special visit from coach Antonio, who taught the kids the basics of photography and how to use properly use cameras!

At Lay-Up Youth Basketball. The coaches and staff genuinely care for the kids, and do their absolute best to provide them a comfortable space where they can get in to the amazing sport of basketball, no matter their age or experience. and create an overall feeling of belonging in their community with other kids!
