Detroit Pistons x 3C Sports Camp Empowers Local Youth Through Free Basketball Training

Updated: Jul 5

Detroit, MI —This summer, the Detroit Pistons partnered with 3C Sports to deliver a powerful community initiative: a free four-day basketball camp designed to uplift and empower young athletes in Southeastern Michigan.

The kids, wearing matching black t-shirts, are engaged in various skill-building exercises while coaches provide guidance.

Held at a local recreation center, the camp welcomed dozens of players who spent their days sharpening their on-court skills, learning teamwork, and building lasting relationships with peers and coaches alike. The Pistons x 3C Sports Basketball Camp not only provided professional-grade coaching but also fostered a sense of community and motivation through every drill, scrimmage, and session.

At the close of the camp, every athlete was awarded a medal in recognition of their hard work and participation. In addition, top performers were given personalized certificates by their coaches, highlighting their standout effort and progress. Each camper also received a Swag Bag filled with Pistons-branded gear and surprises to take home.



This initiative is a shining example of how strategic partnerships can bring impactful, no-cost opportunities to Detroit’s youth — giving them both memories and momentum that last well beyond the hardwood.
