About MVP Training Camps: MVP Training is a basketball training program founded by two TCU students - Bobby Deftos and Dylan Lafferty - who plan, market, and host basketball camps on behalf of D1 college basketball players. Our goal is to provide elite level coaching to all youth athletes in the Fort Worth community, however, we believe socioeconomic status should not be a barrier preventing any of these athletes from attending premier basketball camps. This is where you come in.

Last summer, MVP Training hosted The Brock Harding Basketball Camp with TCU Men's Basketball point guard Brock Harding and invited 20+ young athletes from underserved communities (in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club) to attend the camp, free of charge.

Bobby and Dylan are looking to replicate that effort with the Boys & Girls Club by inviting more underserved athletes to multiple camps this summer. A $100 donation sends a young athlete from an underserved community to an MVP Training Camp, free of charge. $50, $25, and $10 donation amounts still help immensely - we want to provide these up-and-coming hoopers with a chance to receive personalized mentorship from multiple high-major Division 1 athletes. Ultimately, our goal is to create as inspirational of a camp experience as we can.

Your donation will go towards covering the gymnasium rental, custom camp t-shirts, lunch for the campers, and everything else required for hosting and running a successful basketball camp.

As of now, Brock Harding and Xavier Edmonds from the TCU Men's Basketball Team (both central players to TCU's March Madness Tournament Run) have agreed to be the face of multiple camps we will be hosting throughout July and August this summer (2026). We have secured multiple dates with local venues in the Fort Worth community to host these camps.

A Personal Connection: Every donor will have the opportunity to write a handwritten note for their sponsored camper to be tucked inside their goodie bag - a personal reminder that someone in the Fort Worth community believes in them. For example:

“Hey [camper name] - we sponsored your spot today because we believe in you. Keep working, keep your head up, and enjoy every second at camp with Brock and the rest of the MVP Training crew. You’ve got this. - The ____ Family”

Donation Goals:

Tier 1 - $1,500 (15 campers sponsored)

Tier 2 - $10,000 (100 campers sponsored)

Tier 3 - $24,000 (240 campers sponsored)

We appreciate any and all donations to make these MVP Training Camps possible. Thank you for supporting the next generation of athletes.
