CJL with Lavar Ball
”Thank you for sponsoring me to go to the Lavar Ball camp. It was the best; way better than I ever thought it would be. He was really nice & he even knew my name . My favourite part was when he was giving me advice on my game when he was signing my shoes and my BBB T-shirt, it made me feel really special. I will remember this day forever & I hope that I get to meet him again. Thank you”

Tanerau with Lavar Ball
“I would like to thank the board for sponsoring me so I could attend the Lavar Ball camp. I was super excited when my mum and dad told me the news and couldn't believe I was given this opportunity to meet Lavar.
I had so much fun being coached by him, the dribbling, running and catching, Lavar throwing the ball to me while I was running, learning about the numbering positioning when running the court, that the 2 and 3 should be the fastest and down the court first in their position ready to CATCH and shoot.
I was stoked I got my t shirt signed and most of all a photo with Lavar. Thank you so much, this meant a lot to me and a memory I'll have forever.”
