Former international holds basketball camp in Onitsha

Former international basketballer, Samuel Oguche, has announced that the Bullet Energy Basketball Camp will hold its next camp in South East Nigeria for the first time.

Celebrating the third edition of Bullets Energy Drink basketball youth camp within a year, he said the famed energy drink would expand its camp this year to accommodate other geo-political zones in the country.

He revealed that the camp would hold from November 2 to 5 at the Army Cantonment Basketball Court, Army Barracks in Onitsha, adding that it is part of Bullets Energy drink’s contribution to sports development in Nigeria.

Oguche stressed that running the Bullets Energy Drink basketball camp has become very important because it is a way of giving back and encouraging the youth.

According to him, “using basketball to educate and develop Nigerian youth is just the beginning of what needs to be accomplished and It is a responsibility for us to inspire them to keep aiming high by providing them opportunities to grow.”

Over 200 kids would receive intense basketball training and the opportunity for scholarship and U.S. study from the Oguche and other leading coaches from America, including Anthony Gorham Jr. (Washington DC), Lliyas B. Rahman (Maryland), Gregory A. Brown (Fort Lauderdale) and Osita Victor Nwachukwu (Wisconsin)

Nigerian coaches, including Owoicho Alex Ujoh and Dosu Victor Mensah (Dodan Warriors, Lagos), Caroline Ezinne Briggs (Port Harcourt) and Charles Ibeziake (Raptor Onitsha) would also be among the instructors.
