Between playing summer basketball throughout NYC, traveling to Hampton, Va in July to Compete in the D3 nationals & preparing for our upcoming sleep away basketball camp In Benson,NC Set for mid August 2021. We need to raise money to help give our future leaders & student-athletes a fun filled memorable experience this summer. Especially after being confined to their homes do to the pandemic. It’s always been bigger than basketball with AMF, so we decided to set up a host of events that will expose our young men to more than just the sport. ( Ex. College tours, group discussions, lectures, trips, & a few fun activities) If you are unable to attend but wish to make a donation please contact Coach Jaivon at 347.967.7182 Jaivon “Hood” Martin, native of South Jamaica Queens and raised in South Ozone Park Queens, was born on November 30, 1982.
