LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Local organizations partnered to provide free basketball training for children ages 6 to 12 at the Sports Center in Lexington on Saturday as part of Champions Weekend.
The Champions Basketball Camp brought together former University of Kentucky athletes who provided hands-on training focused on skill development and sportsmanship.
"Everybody wants to be a champion, but not everybody wants to put in the work to be a champion," Twany Beckham said.
Beckham, a former UK athlete, organizes the camp and says it's the highlight of his year.
The event was a collaborative effort between several community organizations including the A-One Allstars Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bluegrass, Delta Foundation and the Police Activities League.
Champions Weekend continues with a golf scramble Sunday morning at 8:30 at the University Club of Kentucky.
