On Saturday, January 11th FILO Productions executed one of their first events of the new year. The NBA and FILO Productions teamed up to put on an NBA Fit clinic for local youths of Miami, Florida. The event was held in Doral, Florida at the Doral Walmart Supercenter. If you haven’t been lucky enough to take part or see an NBA Fit clinic you’re missing out. The clinic consisted of a full basketball court with two 8 foot basketball hoops, as well as multiple fitness stations inside the court. Kids were split up into groups of five or six and got to experience each station for three to four minutes. During the hour long clinic each kid got to interact with current and former NBA Players. For this particular event the NBA brought in current Miami Heat player Udonis Haslem, former Miami Heat player Tim Hardaway and former NBA player Felipe Lopez. They were amazing with the kids and the kids were just in awe as it’s not every day you get to hang out with current and former players from your home town team.
Over 50 kids preregistered for the event and another 30 signed up before the event started. The Fit clinic ran from 2:00pm to 3:00pm with a 30 minute autograph session at the end to wrap things up. It was great to see such an impressive turn-out from the people of South Florida. You could tell they really love their team and basketball. After the clinic wrapped up, all three players signed autographs for those that took part in the NBA Fit clinic. Although it wasn’t our longest event, it was a great one. All parties involved really enjoyed themselves and most importantly the message of fitness was spread even further.
