The Head Coach of Nigeria Under, 16 basketball team, Fubara Oyanabo, has tasked young basketball players to channel  their energy toward sports and productivity.
He also advised them to  engage themselves more on basketball, saying that the skills and experience they will get can lead them to the next level in their life.
Oyanabo said this yesterday when declaring open the 12th edition of DA-F Basketball Holiday Camp/Clinic for teenagers at the basketball court, Old Port Harcourt township.

The theme of this year’s  Holiday camp/clinic is “Basketball At Your Back Yard” and the programme is to last for four days.
He further explained that the essence of the clinic is to teach basic skills of the game and morals.
“The camp is not only basketball, but along side with enlightenment campaign against cultism and drug abuse,” he stated.
The Port Harcourt-based coach who led Nigeria to the semifinals of the FIBA Under-16 Africa Championship also stated that the  plan of the holiday/clinic is  to develop young talents and create awareness of the game.
“ For me, taking the teenagers out of the street is my major achievement,” he stated.
