Project Dragonfly basketball mentor program launched for local youth
Local basketball coach Ken King has announced a new fund for local youth called Project Dragonfly.
King has been working with Performance Connection, the Central Alberta Basketball Club and Pure Fitness CrossFit to create the groundwork for Project Dragonfly.
King says it will be able to support two Red Deer youth to improve fitness and discipline, as well as two to participate in club basketball.
“I’ve spent five years in Red Deer and worked hard to build a legacy. But what I realize now as I leave is that the legacy is not on the court but the truly important one is off of it with our youth. That is where the idea for Project Dragonfly gets it’s legs, in the memory of some of the most selfless people I know, I want to bring local funds to local youth in order to help better them through sport and fitness,” said King.
