WHY: Empower youth in the community through sport
Warsaw Hoopfest is back! After a successful camp in April 2019, the pandemic forced the Warsaw Sports Business Club to postpone Hoopfest for two years. We are excited to announce that we will once again be hosting our annual Hoopfest basketball camp. We've been hard at work preparing for the return of Hoopfest and look forward to an amazing event! Donate to help us create the most fulfilling and fun experience possible so that we can continue this great tradition!
Hoopfest is a day-long, student-run basketball camp for 5th-8th grade kids hosted by the Warsaw Sports Business Club at Matthew Knight Arena, where we teach fundamental basketball skills, teamwork, and friendship through the game of basketball. It allows the Warsaw Sports Business Club to interact with the Eugene community and pass on the healthy habits associated with sport to local youth.
Conducting a day camp environment enhances the experience by creating an inviting atmosphere for our young athletes. On event day, participants are immersed in activities such as a skills challenge, a 3-point contest, and round-robin play. Each part is aimed to develop their skills on and off the court, emphasizing the importance of exercise and sportsmanship.
Participating players are given a free t-shirt, various door prizes, and will be provided with lunch. To end the day, participants gather for a photo booth session with an appearance from our very own mascot, The Duck!
All net proceeds of the event go to youth scholarships for Kidsports and the Stephen Dember Memorial Scholarship for students studying sports business at the University of Oregon. We truly appreciate your generosity in considering contributing to this year's Warsaw Hoopfest.
