N.B.A. (Nutrition Basketball Academics) Institute
Our goal is to provide life skills, which is only part of recreation. We want them to be positive young people and to do that you've go to teach them at a young age. To do that, 9-to-12 year old boys and girls from the Albion Public School System are confronted with what director Harry Bonner terms "the three A's."
