As I scroll through the pictures and watch the videos from both the November and December Dibia Holiday Skills Clinic, I am overjoyed to see that so many kids dedicated themselves to enhancing their basketball skills in Miami. I am especially happy to see some of our athletes from the summer Elite Skills Camp return for both Holiday clinics and happy to see how their skills have improved in such a short time. Athletes such as Isi Beraja, Luca Meyerhans, Jacob Simkovic, Jayia Harris and AJ Speilgelman, returned from the Elite Skills Camp in the summer to add to the more than 90 kids who attended the Dibia Athletic Development Holiday Skills Clinic. The athletes showed enormous dedication to sharpening their skills during the holiday season.
