CIBA Celebrates International Men’s Day with Inspiring Player Development Camp
In a dynamic celebration of International Men’s Day, the Cayman Islands Basketball Association (CIBA) joined forces with the Family Resource Center to host an unforgettable Player Development Camp. The clinic, led by renowned former NBA scout and trainer Irv Roland, brought together over 60 young athletes for a day filled with skill-building, inspiration, and invaluable life lessons.
Elevating the Game with Irv Roland
Irv Roland, known for his extensive experience working with some of the NBA’s top talents, brought his expertise and passion to the Cayman courts. During the clinic, participants were guided through drills and exercises designed to enhance their basketball fundamentals, from shooting mechanics to court awareness. Roland’s emphasis on hard work, focus, and dedication left a lasting impression on the young athletes, inspiring them to reach for new heights both on and off the court.
A Platform for Growth and Mentorship
The camp was more than just a basketball clinic—it was a platform for mentorship and personal development. Following the on-court session, Roland engaged with the participants in a Q&A session, sharing insights from his career and offering practical advice on overcoming challenges and pursuing dreams. From stories of working with elite players to discussing the importance of character and resilience, the session provided invaluable lessons that resonated with the young athletes.
