RHJ on Tour is bringing a free basketball camp to Bacolod City this Saturday, July 12.

Led by TNT Tropang 5G’s resident import, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, the basketball camp is taking place at the Bacolod City National High School on the said date.

Open to young basketball players from all over the Philippines, the program reveals a new side of Hollis-Jefferson, imparting valuable basketball knowledge to aspiring ballers to advance the cause of youth basketball development.

Joining RHJ in this training series are Tropang 5G’s veteran guard Jayson Castro, team manager Jojo Lastimosa, and assistant coaches Ranidel de Ocampo and Bong Ravena.

“This is something truly special for me as I have become quite a Filipino by heart playing for Tropang 5G,” said Hollis-Jefferson, a former NBA player and three-time PBA Best Import winner.

“I look at this basketball tour as a huge opportunity to share my experience and push young Filipino players to chase their dreams and become the future of the game,” the 30-year-old cager added.

Currently sidelined with an injury, Castro said he would not miss the opportunity to give back to TNT fans, particularly to young basketball hopefuls.

“We do what we do because of our KaTropas, and this is also an opportunity for me to share what I can to more young players,” Castro said.

“With the help of RHJ and our other coaches — Ranidel, Coach Jolas and Coach Bong — we want to reach as many kids as possible to support their dreams and love for the game,” he added./ASC, WDJ
