With the school year looming, the children of Laredo are getting a once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn from none other than former NBA head coach Kaleb Canales. Kicking off the Assist 13 Foundation camp on Monday, August 5, Canales returned to his hometown to share his wisdom and passion for the game with the youngest campers.

Despite juggling coaching duties with Team Mexico and the Mavericks’ G-League team, Canales’ dedication to Laredo remains unwavering. “We aim to instill big dreams in these kids, focusing on life lessons and teachable moments. We’re proud to pave the way for their futures,” Canales passionately stated.
The first day of camp saw dozens of eager youngsters, their eyes filled with excitement not just for basketball, but for the broader dreams they hold. Canales and his team emphasized that this camp isn’t just about sports—it’s about nurturing aspirations.
Parents still have the chance to enroll their children in this unique experience. Tuesday, August 6, is reserved for kids aged 9 to 13 with all-day sessions, while Wednesday, August 7, offers half-day sessions. The grand finale on Thursday, August 8, is tailored for middle school students.
Canales’ return to Laredo is a heartwarming tale of giving back to the community. This initiative underscores the importance of mentorship and the role of sports in youth development. By blending athletic training with life lessons, Canales is not only teaching basketball but also molding future leaders. It’s a testament to the power of sports as a tool for personal growth and community building.
