On Saturday, March 4th, the Victory Activity Center (VAC) at the First Latin American Baptist Church celebrated 41 local athletes who participated in its inaugural youth basketball league. Southwest Detroit children ages 7 to 11 played an eight-week tournament to learn the basics of the sport and develop important life skills such as teamwork and perseverance.

The young people were honored at the awards banquet. We join with the congregation and team families in congratulating the members of the Bison, Angels, Scorpions, and Hawks teams. The Hawks rose to the top with a 7-1 season, led by their key players Magnus Hunt and Aiyana Serrano. On March 25th the VAC will initiate its indoor soccer season for the same age group.

For more information about VAC programs and opportunities for sponsorship, call Ken Gutierrez at (248) 321-2433. The Victory Activity Center exists to connect SW Detroit youth and their families with God’s love and His gospel through quality sports and outreach activities. Its spacious facility is located at 2004 Scotten St., between W. Vernor Ave and Toledo St. in the heart of Southwest Detroit.

Banquete en Honor a Atletas Locales

El sábado 4 de marzo, el Centro de Actividades la Victoria (VAC por sus siglas en ingles) en la Primera Iglesia Bautista Latinoamericana celebró a 41 atletas locales que participaron en su liga inaugural de baloncesto juvenil. Los niños del suroeste de Detroit de 7 a 11 años jugaron un torneo de ocho semanas para aprender los conceptos básicos del deporte y desarrollar habilidades importantes para la vida, como el trabajo en equipo y la perseverancia.

Los jóvenes fueron homenajeados en el banquete de premiación. Nos unimos a la congregación y a las familias de los equipos para felicitar a los miembros de los equipos de Bisontes, Ángeles, Escorpiones y Halcones. Los Halcones llegaron a la cima con una temporada de 7-1, liderados por sus jugadores clave Magnus Hunt y Aiyana Serrano. El 25 de marzo, el VAC iniciará su temporada de fútbol sala para el mismo grupo de edad.

Para obtener más información sobre los programas del VAC y las oportunidades de patrocinio, llame a Ken Gutierrez al (248) 321-2433. El Centro de Actividades de la Victoria existe para conectar a los jóvenes del suroeste de Detroit y sus familias con el amor de Dios y Su evangelio a través de programas deportivos de calidad y programas de alcance familiar. Su espaciosa instalación está ubicada en 2004 Scotten St., entre W. Vernor Ave y Toledo St. en el corazón del suroeste de Detroit.
