On Tuesday, December 27 from 5-7 p.m., Bibles and Basketball will host the event for athletes that may have disabilities.<\/p><p>The invitational tournament will be held from Wednesday through Saturday, December 28-31 at the Wiregrass Ranch Sports Campus of Pasco County, located at 3021 Space Coast Wy. in Wesley Chapel, and over 180 teams will participate from around the country. The tournament is the largest Christmas high school invitational tournament in the country and has continued to grow since its first tournament in 2015.<\/p><p>\u201cI believe that we can win youth and adults over to our Lord via sports and via business,\u201d said Bibles and Basketball founder and coach Ed Treimanis.<\/p><p>Former Harlem Globetrotter Larry \u2018Shorty\u2019 Coleman will attend to help raise money for Helping Hands Ministry and 50 Legs. The money raised for Helping Hands Ministry will be donated to Hoops 4 Shorty to help support the legendary Globetrotter, who had his leg amputated almost two years ago. The rest of the money will go to 50 Legs, which gives prosthetic arms and legs to child amputees.<\/p><p>Sponsorship opportunities are available for individuals and businesses to support the basketball tournament. For donations of $500 or greater, businesses and individuals can have their logos or names printed on the back of the tournament T-shirts. For $100, companies will be featured on the basketball tournament\u2019s website.<\/p><p>Tickets to watch the tournament will be available as well, but those who are disabled or families of the disabled individual will be let in without charge.<\/p><p>\u201cThere [were not] that many gyms and there [were not] that many basketball camps in the Greater Brandon area,\u201d said Treimanis about why he started Bibles and Basketball.<\/p><p>The program includes time at the beginning of each session for Bible study before engaging in fellowship among athletes.<\/p><p>For more information on Bibles and Basketball, visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.biblesandbasketball.net\/\">www.biblesandbasketball.net<\/a>.

Treimanis has worked with a few basketball celebrities in running his camp and assisting in other similar camps such as the Harlem Legends Shoot For the Stars camp held at the Ministries and Activities Center (MAC) at the First Baptist Church of Brandon. One of these is former Harlem Globetrotter, Larry \u201cShorty\u201d Coleman.<\/p><p>Treimanis and Shorty met five years ago, and after discovering that they both had a passion for basketball and helping children, they started working together. Although Shorty comes to Brandon primarily for the Harlem Legends camp, they have set it up so both camps do a charity game every year together.<\/p><p>\u201cI\u2019ve only missed one Bibles and Basketball game and that was due to medical injury,\u201d said Shorty.<\/p><p>Shorty is involved in many charities in addition to the two camps. In fact, he has been partaking in charities since 1994. He also has been involved with hospitals such as St. Jude\u2019s and spent time with religious figureheads such as Pope John Paul II, but Shorty\u2019s main focus has been to teach kids basketball and how to continue to be positive. He feels that this is important in ensuring kids a safe and bright future.<\/p><p>Though the Bibles and Basketball camp was not held this summer, Treimanis still assisted with the Legends camp with Shorty. This year the camp was held Monday through Friday, June 20-24. Though Treimanis\u2019 camp was not held, the annual charity game will still be taking place in the fall. As of this time, there is no specific date, but Treimanis has already been in contact with Bloomingdale High School and Bell Shoals Baptist Church about using their gyms for the game.<\/p><p>Many who have worked with Treimanis speak highly of his passion for his camp and basketball. Jim Price, a former NBA player who began his career with the LA Lakers, and now local to Valrico, has participated in past charity games and had especially kind words to share.<\/p><p>\u201cWe\u2019re all given a talent by God and Ed just loves sports and I believe that this is part of his ministry,\u201d said Price.<\/p><p>More about camp and updates on the game in the fall, visit www.biblesandbasketball.net.

campers later, Ed Treimanis from Ameriprise financial, a local financial planner, dad and basketball player and coach has offered up his time each summer to host the Bibles and Basketballs

campers game on Friday night at 7 p.m. which is open to the public. This year\u2019s location is being confirmed and will be posted at the new website www.biblesandbasketball.net.<\/p><p>Four years ago, Treimanis joined forces with the Harlem Globetrotter\u2019s Legend\u2019s, in town to host a camp and expanded the reach of the Bibles and Basketballs camp.<\/p><p>Once again this year, Harlem Globetrotter\u2019s Legend Larry \u2018Shorty\u2019 Coleman will be coaching kids at the camp and playing in the All-star game and hints that more legends may be at the final Friday night game.<\/p><p>\u201cThis is my one week to give back to the kids,\u201d explained Treimanis. \u201cWe have impacted more than 500 campers over the years and we keep getting better and better.\u201d<\/p><p>Larry \u2018Shorty\u2019 Coleman is proud to be back for the camp and was in town to promote the camp in June.<\/p><p>\u201cThis has been a true blessing in more than one way,\u201d said Coleman. \u201cSports can lead to both positive and negative things but with the bible, there is never anything but good.\u201d<\/p><p>The camp costs $125 for the week. This year\u2019s sponsorship roster includes, Neal Kahn of Olin Mott Tire Store and Ameriprise Financial along with Osprey Observer, Logo ASAP, David Villa from Imperial Press Direct and many more.<\/p><p>The charity game will take place Friday, July 19 at 7 p.m. and includes the kids\u2019 game and Harlem Legend Larry \u2018Shorty\u2019 Coleman and NBA All star Jim Price and maybe a few additional pros.
