Ryan Appleby & HSBCAMPS Dribble Back Into Bellevue August 2011

Former University of Washington Star & Other Pros To Teach Kids About The Game & Life

HSBCAMPS, America’s leader in bringing kids of all ages face-to-face with the pros, and former UW standout Ryan Appleby, have announced their return to the Seattle area for summer 2011.  HSBCAMPS has partnered again with Bellevue Christian School, to host one of its world-class youth basketball camps geared towards “giving back”.  HSBCAMPS will donate a portion of the camp proceeds to various entities within the local community and make scholarships available for underprivileged kids wishing to attend the Day Camp slated for August 1-3, 2011.

The three-day camp will be geared towards teaching and developing the fundamentals of basketball for boys and girls in elementary, middle and high school grades. From team competitions to individual contests, players will participate in fun, instructional work under the direction of the HSBCAMPS staff, comprised of collegiate and professional coaches and players from all over the country.

“Seattle is a great basketball city and one that we feel we can have a big impact in,” explains Carson Sofro, HSBCAMPS Founder.  “We had some great support from the local community in our first summer, and were able to get a lot of kids training one-on-one with some great players and coaches including Seattle’s own Ryan Appleby.  We are really looking forward to our return.”  HSBCAMPS prides itself as a youth basketball program that “gives back”, donating a portion of every programs proceeds to schools and non-profits within each of the communities they serve.  With more than $50,000 raised to date, HSBCAMPS stands firm in its commitment to provide every child, regardless of age or income, with an opportunity to attend.

In addition to the Bellevue, the nationally expanding youth basketball camp will also be serving up high scoring experiences in Dallas, Texas; Houston, Texas; Boise, Idaho; Hailey, Idaho; Twin Falls, Idaho; Bend, Ore.; Medford, Ore.; and Park City, Utah.

About Carson Sofro

"I started this program with one simple goal in mind. To create opportunities for young basketball players that weren't available to me as an up and coming player. Camps were hundreds of miles away, the expenses were great, and I always felt lost amongst the crowds. The one-on-one instructional atmosphere that has been created at HSBCAMPS is a unique philosophy that has allowed our staff members to connect and develop every participant regardless of their age or ability. We started something very special back in 2007 and I hope to someday take this program all over the country and perhaps the world."
