Message from LJ:

My name is LJ Brown, and I began working at the YMCA last fall. In high school, I was a four-sport athlete (football, basketball, baseball, and track). I am a passionate sports fan and adore instructing young people in the game. Football is my favorite sport because I played it at Gardner Webb, but basketball was my first interest. I firmly believe that playing sports teaches us valuable life lessons as well as the discipline and problem-solving skills we may require in the future. With my enthusiasm for sports and love of teaching, I believe I can help lead and have a great impact on the children that attend our sports camps.  My goal is not to only teach the sport but raise young men and women to be respectable people on and. off the field.

Baseball Camp (Arvie Bennett)

Ruby C. Hunt YMCA
5/12/23 - 8/5/23
VIEW

THE DATES FOR THIS CAMP WILL BE: July 31st- August 4th

Message from Arvie:

My name is Arvie Bennett Jr. and I will be leading the 2023 YMCA Summer Baseball Camp.  I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education, a Master’s Degree in Physical Education, and a Master of Divinity in Leadership.  I have 12 years of experience teaching and coaching in the South Carolina public school system and 7 years of experience as a youth and children’s minister.

My baseball experience is as follows…

  • 2 years varsity baseball at Landrum High School
  • 2 years varsity baseball at Barnwell High School
  • 3 years collegiate baseball at Lander University
  • 2 years semi-professional baseball in the Atlantic Coast League
  • 12 years coaching experience

I began playing baseball at the age of six and competed competitively until I was twenty-three years old.  The skills that I learned at an early age, from my father, who was also a high school coach, helped me to succeed at the sport I loved.  I believe it is essential for young children to learn the basic fundamentals of the game.  The fundamentals will not only help them to enjoy the game of baseball, but it will also help prevent injury during their playing career.  In addition, baseball will help children of all skill levels learn the values of sportsmanship, teamwork, and discipline.

I look forward to sharing my experience and knowledge about the game of baseball with your child.  Thank you.

THE DATES FOR SUMMER VOLLEYBALL CAMP: July 10th through July 14th

Message from Robin:

Hi there! My name is Robin Ramseur and as a native of Shelby, NC, I am so excited to run your volleyball camp this year at Ruby Hunt’s YMCA! I remember trying out for the volleyball team for the first time in my 7th grade year in middle school. I was so curious about the sport. I had already been playing basketball and felt like trying something new. Serving and passing the ball seemed so hard to learn. However, with the help of an older cousin, I practiced until I got better. That preparation propelled me to make the team in my 7th-grade year and it eventually contributed to me being on the Crest High School volleyball team as one of the starters for our 2 year in a row conference championship team! Coach Jamie Wilson was my coach. I then went off to college and instead of playing for my Alma Mater, NCCU, I played for volleyball clubs so that I could be involved with Leadership Organizations on campus.
My personal passion and desire is to encourage adolescents, teenagers, and even young adults, to become positive leaders and not negative followers. I feel that my passion for volleyball is what drives my love for the game. I absolutely love how volleyball brings a team together. Volleyball is a sport where you truly get to see a great example of how the body of Christ works. We’re supposed to cover each other in prayer at all times so that when an attack comes our way, we can either block it or regroup by passing our attack to our number 1 setter (God the Father) so he can set us up for a win. My goal for this camp is to help campers have fun, learn the game, and be better to themselves. I can’t wait to see you at camp!
