Testimonials

Donovan Mitchell, NBA All-Star / Former Camper – “MVP is where I found my love for basketball!”

Lowes Moore, Executive Director, Boys and Girls Club of Mount Vernon – “While our kids love to play basketball all day, that is really just a small part of what makes MVP so great for them. They get out of the four square miles of Mount Vernon and play with kids from other parts of Westchester; kids who are having a totally different life experience. The kids who have gone to MVP wear their camp T-shirts all the time and talk about going back throughout the school year. And even without their shirts, these kids are easy to spot because going to MVP has changed them. They interact more easily with others and take instruction better.”

Tracy Sadler – Hormazabal writes, It’s great for the kids!!!! They love going!! The coaches are encouraging!!

Jamie Austin – “We love MVP camp because it has a great family feel to it. Our boys loved the skills, games and speakers. Each day they came home even more excited for the next day of camp. We will continue to send our boys to this camp along with our daughter. “

Veronika says – “MVP Basketball is so much fun! The first time I came to this camp was in 2009. I’ve improved so much! I’m very excited about playing basketball also. I look forward to come to this camp every year.”

Abby Plotka, KICS Program MLK School, Yonkers – I wanted to thank the MVP Basketball Camp for awarding several scholarships to children in our program. The time these children spent at your camp allowed them to make new friends and indulge in an opportunity that they never would have had with out these scholarships. Thanks for brightening these childrens lives!!!!!

Mary Figueroa, Amazing Afternoons After-School Program –  I am most grateful to MVP for providing camp scholarships to the children at Edward Williams School. The impact that was made upon their lives was immeasurable.

Amoni Haynes, Camper – The coaches are tremendously helpful. For example, they taught me how to box out, shoot the ball correctly, rebound, play defense, pivot, and pass. We are all learning about something we enjoy.

Tyler Jackson-Greene, Camper – I learned more about the game and had fun doing it. The lunch was good too. I hope I can attend again next year.

Franceen Lylle, Parent  –  My son had the absolute best time, and most of all he improved skills needed to be a good player. Keep up the great work!

Patricia Macaulay, Parent – Your staff should be commended for putting forth the time and effort in becoming postiive role models for these boys and girls. In this day and age of professional players getting caught up in all types of negative controversy, it’s nice to have a place to go to learn the game as well as positive life values.

Rich Nightingale, Coachman Family Center – Our youngsters who attended MVP had a special experience they will never forget, one that gave a tremendous boost to their self-confidence and self-esteem. They returned from camp talking not only about basketball, but about the relationships they were building.

Nate Schorr, Camper – The best thing about MVP is learning that each person is the best at something and putting those “somethings” together is what makes a great team. After 7 years at camp, I’ve learned that everyone should be valued for their own skills. That’s why they call it MVP, for Most Valued Person.

Colette Atkins, Parent – Aside from the great coaching our 2 boys received, MVP provided a great opportunity for them to stretch their social skills in an atmosphere of respect. There was an ideal mix of competition, sportsmanship and just plain fun!
