CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) – Dozens of kids are learning the fundamentals of basketball and boxing at the second annual Stick & Move Youth Day Camp.
The free camp organized by the Legacy Driven nonprofit organization run by former University of Virginia basketball star Travis Watson.
The unique camp combines basketball with boxing.
“Same components and skill sets,” says Watson. “Having to use both left and right hand. We did it again to put on for the community.”
“I love basketball, my mom said I might like boxing so it’s a good way to mix both,” says camper Ian Kaufman. “Boxing is a good cross sport for basketball because it’s a cardio sport.”
“This is an impressionable age to train that mentality and be professional and find out what they like.” says Watson.
The innovative camp promotes physical fitness and mental resilience.
“Boxing is important to teach kids because it’s just like life, it’s tough,” says boxing instructor George Rivera. “When you build your confidence in your mental and physical, it’s going to prepare you for life in all sports.”
The camp is designed to instill discipline, teamwork and leadership.
“Self-defense, respecting others, it’s not just about boxing,” says camper Mohamed Androaje. “Coach also teaches us about manners and to have respect for each other in and out of the ring.”
Whether it’s a punch or a pass, it’s a meaningful summer experience.

It’s game time in Green Lake County as a new community initiative is coming to the area that promises a day of sports and community resources.
The Green Lake County Health Department and Terrace Shores Church will host the first-ever Green Lake County Community Day and Sports Camp Thursday, July 17 at Princeton Public School.
The event was planned by the Green Lake County Health Department to address social factors affecting the health of community members. It’s also meant to bring awareness to the services and resources available to residents around Green Lake County.
The Green Lake County Health Department teamed up with Terrace Shores Church because it already was hosting a similar event.
“We wanted to provide a fostering environment for youth to grow in skill development, physical fitness and teamwork,” Green Lake County Deputy Health Officer Lauren Olson said. “We added the services and resources to help meet families where they are at and provide direct services all in one location.”
The event will be split into two parts: the sports camp and the resource fair.
The sports camp will go from noon to 4 p.m. and is open to area youth who will be in grades six through 12 this fall. Kids will have the option to play football, basketball, volleyball, baseball and softball.

The resource fair will go from 2 to 6 p.m. and anyone in Green Lake County can attend. The resource fair will feature free haircuts from Berlin Beauty Salon, a diaper giveaway from Jake’s Network of Hope and free sports physicals for students.
Additionally, employment assistance will be provided from Forward Services Corp. Mental health resources and presentations from Community Clothes Closet, Womens, Infants, and Children, the Boys and Girls Club of the Tri-County Area, Christine Ann Domestic Abuse Services and more will be offered.
ThedaCare Rural Health initiative will share information on blood pressure and vision checks, and the Green Lake County Extension FoodWIse will talk about nutrition. The Green Lake County Food Pantry, Advocap Head Start and the Green Lake County Aging and Disability Resource center also will provide information and resources.
The event also will feature a community meal that anyone can attend.
“We hope to see this event continue on an annual basis and help bring together the community and provide valuable resources to those that need it,” Olson said.
