Free summer sports programs for Detroit students create positive opportunities during pandemic

With many families struggling to make ends meet, especially during this pandemic, a welcomed blessing this summer has been free sports camps for students in DPSCD. Not just your typical football and basketball, but for golf and baseball and even girls volleyball with college coaches leading the sessions. It's thanks to a collaboration with a local nonprofit and DPSCD. In 2021, most kids have hoop dreams and love basketball but for 15-year-old Janiah Singleton, her love is with the game of volleyball. "It's my favorite sport," she said.
