Youth Programs
RYLA
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary's leadership training program for young people. RYLA participants can be ages 14-30, but most clubs and districts choose to focus on a narrower age range, such as 14-18 or 19-30.
RYLA emphasizes leadership, citizenship, and personal growth, and aims to
- Demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth
- Provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders
- Encourage leadership of youth by youth
- Recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities
The Rotary Club of Mesquite will be sending two youths from Beaver Dam Arizona to RYLA this year. Watch the Club news for more information.
Sports Camps
Basketball Camp
Our 3rd Annual Basketball Camp was a huge success with a dozen legendary coaches and 84 kids participating. The camp was four days long, consisting of calisthenics, fundamentals, and drills of various techniques. The camp came to a high point on the fourth day when all the kids participated in a skills competition. Kids were challenged to timed three-point shooting, free throw shooting, layups, and over various skills. 24 prizes were awarded to the winners in each age bracket. Each prize consisted of two free movie tickets to the Redd Hills Cinema and a $10 gift card to their concessions stand. Thank you to Redd Hills Cinema for their donation.
Thank you to all the kids for participating and thank you to everyone who was instrumental in helping to put this camp on. A very special to Riley Frei for organizing the event.
Please look for our Basketball Camp again next year. Get your kids entered into this great event. And find out how you can get involved with this project or any of our other projects by contacting us today.
