Future Stars Shine at Coach Kiy’s Grand Opening College Camp

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Thank you to our subscribers for supporting coverage of Coach Kiy's Grand Opening and College Camps in Corona, California. </strong>This event was built for serious athletes and designed with next-level aspirations in mind. Inside her brand-new facility, top Division I athletes not only led drills and training but also modeled the intensity and mindset it takes to succeed beyond high school. Learning from those currently living the dream is one of the most powerful tools an athlete can experience.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Campers didn't just participate, they competed, learned, and earned.
