Help for Coney Island residents: opening a free basketball school

In modern society, sport plays an important role, especially for the younger generation. Unfortunately, not all parents can afford to pay for classes for their children. This is well understood by The Coney company, which opened a free basketball school, which became a significant event for the residents of Coney Island.
 
The free basketball school Brooklyn USA Basketball is headed by the famous coach Thomas Sicignano, whom many basketball players know as Ziggy. At the opening ceremony, he expressed gratitude to representatives of The Coney company for the financial support that made the project possible. The company not only helped organize the school, but also provided uniforms, water, backpacks, balls and found coaches. After all, a coach is of great importance to a child - he becomes a friend who educates and motivates him to succeed.
“In conditions when many parents are experiencing financial difficulties, a free basketball school becomes a salvation for children, providing an opportunity to play sports, distracting them from the negative influences of the street. It also teaches them to work in a team, which is very important for modern American society. Classes at a sports school help to develop discipline, team spirit and physical endurance, which is extremely important,” said a famous basketball player present at the event, a former member of the City Council and now a consultant for The Coney Robert Carnegie.
“It’s nice to note that the new basketball school is open to children of all colors and religions. There are children whose parents came from Ukraine and Russia, from Israel and Arab countries. This creates an atmosphere of friendship and mutual understanding, where every child feels part of a single team “Many children have already experienced the joy of participating in the classes, and the first one became unforgettable, especially in the summer, when not all parents can pay for a children’s summer camp,” said The Coney consultant, district leader Dmitry Kugel, to whom many in the district are grateful. for his good deeds and charitable activities.
Also present at the event were a consultant and representative from Scott Conton, as well as former City Council member and current consultant from The Coney, attorney Domenic Recchia, who knows the area and its problems well.
The opening of this school is not just a contribution to the development of sports, but also a step towards strengthening social unity and equal opportunities. The Coney has set an example of social responsibility that serves as an inspiration to other organizations and people. We hope that such initiatives will continue to develop in the future, opening up new horizons and opportunities for children.
