The second and the last day of the 2008 NBA FIT Camps in Shantou opened with a talk on life skills seminar by one of the junior coaches and NBA instructor. Campers were very receptive and enthusiastic despite the early hours.

After warm-ups and stretches, Coach Rex led the older kids in passing and shooting drills on a full court, while the younger ones had a great time interacting with each other in ball handling games on the other side of the gym. The morning ended with 5-on-5 games where campers had a chance put their skills and lessons learned to practice.

After lunch, Glen Rice joined the kids for quick warm-ups before a series of intense competitions took place.

Glen Rice gave an inspirational NBA FIT Talk at the closing ceremony about his path into professional basketball, how he persevered through various challenges throughout his career at the NBA, and encouraged all the campers to strive for the best, for the NBA. And that one day he hopes to return to Shantou to receive the campers’ autographs as they become successful basketball players themselves.

As the camp came to a close, Glen Rice was presented with a FIT Camps banner with all the campers’ autographs. In return, Glen, Coach Rex, the junior coaches and NBA staffs happily signed autographs for all the campers.
