What Our Participants and Families Are Saying

Before joining 4th Quarter Shots, my son was struggling with confidence both in basketball and in school. The coaches not only taught him how to improve his game but also how to believe in himself. He now has the courage to try new things and never gives up, no matter how tough it gets.
MariaParent of Participant
I never thought I’d get the chance to play basketball at a real camp because of where I’m from. 4th Quarter Shots gave me that chance, and it changed everything for me. I learned more than just basketball; I learned how to be a leader and a good teammate. Now, I want to keep pushing myself to be better in everything I do.
JamalAge 14, Camp Participant
4th Quarter Shots is more than just a basketball camp; it’s a family. The coaches genuinely care about the kids and go out of their way to make sure everyone feels included and valued. It’s amazing to see the difference it makes in the kids’ lives, both on and off the court.
Coach WilliamsVolunteer Coach
I had no idea how much my daughter would gain from this camp. Beyond the basketball skills, she came home every day talking about the life lessons she learned. She’s more motivated in school and is setting goals for herself that she never thought were possible before. I can’t thank 4th Quarter Shots enough for giving her this opportunity.
LisaParent of Participant
As a coach, I’ve seen many programs, but 4th Quarter Shots stands out because of its commitment to every child, no matter their circumstances. The focus on both athletic and personal development is what makes this program truly unique. It’s incredible to watch these kids transform in such a short time.
Coach RamirezVolunteer Coach
This camp taught me more than just basketball. I learned how to be confident in myself and that I can achieve anything if I work hard. I made new friends and had so much fun. I can’t wait to come back next year!
KeishaAge 13, Camp Participant
4th Quarter Shots was a game-changer for our family. My son has always loved basketball, but we couldn’t afford the expensive programs. This camp gave him the chance to not only play but also learn from top-notch trainers. He’s more disciplined now, and it’s reflected in everything he does—from his schoolwork to how he treats others.
MarkParent of Participant
I’m so grateful for 4th Quarter Shots. It’s more than just basketball; it’s a family that cares about your future. The coaches always encouraged me to do my best, and now I feel like I can handle any challenge that comes my way.
JaydenAge 15, Camp Participant
As a community leader, I’ve seen firsthand the impact 4th Quarter Shots has on our youth. This program isn’t just teaching basketball; it’s providing hope, structure, and positive role models for kids who really need it. It’s amazing to see the smiles on these kids’ faces and the confidence they gain through the camp.
Mr. ThompsonCommunity Partner
Watching the kids at 4th Quarter Shots reminds me why this program is so important. They come in with doubts, but by the end of the camp, they’re standing taller, playing harder, and believing in themselves in ways they never did before. It’s a privilege to be part of something that makes such a real difference in their lives.
