(Hustle & Heart) It was another successful summer for Hustle & Heart Basketball camps—two sleepaway basketball camps for boys and girls entering fifth-12th grade. Competition was fierce and everyone worked hard! Players came from Atara (Cincinnati), Berman (Silver Spring), BYAM, DRS, Central, Flatbush, Frisch, HALB, HAFTR, HANC, Har Torah, He’Atid, JEC, Kushner, Maimonides (LA), Ma’ayanot, MDS, Moriah, Naaleh, Noam, North Shore, Ramaz, RYNJ, SAR, Shulamith, SKA, Yeshiva of South Shore, TABC, TAG, WTA, Yavneh and YCQ.
The boys’ camp took place simultaneously with Camp Dovid at Camp Lavi, which added another fun social component as friends were able to socialize when they weren’t playing basketball—and were able to watch each other’s games. See below for the complete list of player awards.
For the second year in a row, the girls’ camp took place over Shabbos. What an incredible weekend it was! The girls played their hearts out during the week and on Shabbos they were able to come together, make new friends, rest and enjoy each other’s company. Teams consisted of someone from middle school, high school and a staff member, resulting in 24 teams, all playing hard and having a ton of fun! Girls camp coaches including those from the Yeshiva League, as well as the YU Stern College basketball coach, along with other various trainers and coaches. On Saturday, the girls played in the Hustle & Heart Madness Tournament, a mixed tournament with the entire camp. See below for the complete list of player awards.
