Alton Basketball Academy is set to hold its Summer Camp for this year in the Rwandan capital Kigali as they continue to nurture and expose young talent.

The academy’s lineup for the trip that will see them play multiple games against Elite Basketball Academy includes the U13 Girls Team as well as the U16 and U18 (Elite) Teams for both Boys and Girls.
“This is just the beginning, and we aim to achieve long-term benefits to ensure continuity for our athletes,” Alton Asiimwe, the proprietor of the academy, said at a press briefing.
The five-day camp which will have training sessions and competitive games in the different age categories will be held at Lycée de Kigali (LDK) in Nyarugenge.
“Our itinerary includes training sessions at LDK Arena and a game against Kepler University in the Elite Category among others,” Asiimwe added.
Junior Silverbacks guards Mathew Kisakye and Brighton Galiwango have gone through the Alton Basketball Academy.
“We created a Youth Program at FUBA to streamline the works of academies. Alton is registered and follows the script, and they have had kids like Brighton Galiwango and Mathew Kisakye represent our national youth teams.
“We are proud of this academy and happy that they are coming up with such an initiative,” Hudson Ssegamwenge, the Federation of Uganda Basketball Associations (FUBA) VP, said.
Back home, Alton Basketball Academy holds sessions every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday at Fast Sports Fusion in Bugolobi.
