A legendary basketball coach returns to the Twin Lakes Area as Youth Appreciation Day is scheduled for Friday at the L.C. Sammons Youth Center. Next Step Athletics founder Wayne Mendezona, better known as “Coach Mendo,” will present his Quick Handle Basketball Camp Friday from 9 until 3 free of charge to local youth from third grade through high school.
Mendezona says he set up Next Step Athletics in 2011 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Coach Mendo says another place he went in January was India, and it was an unforgettable experience.

The camp will provide several activities, competitions, awards and other opportunities for all participants, but Coach Mendo says it does more than provide instruction on the game of basketball.
