PROtential Sports Now Offering Summer Camp, After-School Program in Riverview

Do you have an athletic youngster itching to play some sports this summer?

PROtential Sports may be able to scratch that itch.

PROtential Sports recently opened a new youth sports camp at the Rivercrest Community Development District Center, 11560 Ramble Creek Dr., Riverview, near the Riverview Montessori School and Sessums Elementary School.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be giving kids in Riverview an opportunity to reach their full potential in all areas of life,” said Tony Bland, CEO and president of Tampa-based PROtential Sports. “We’re confident that our integrated approach to developing campers athletically, mentally and emotionally will have a powerful impact on children in the community.”

The program offers children ages 5 to 12 the opportunity to learn and participate in a variety of sports, including soccer, basketball, football, baseball, lacrosse, golf, tennis and cheerleading. In addition to sports coaching and mentorship, the program offers transportation, snacks and homework help to all of its students.

PROtential Sports also  integrates life lessons into its athletic curriculum to help direct children toward a successful future. The coaching cultivates character traits and instill values such as discipline, respect, honesty, integrity and teamwork in the children. Every student is given individual mentorship to help grow physically, mentally and emotionally.

“We couldn’t be happier about PROtential Sports coming to our center,” said Rick Reidt, the operations manager of Rivercrest Community Development District. “Our facilities and fields offer all of the amenities PROtential needs to thrive. We look forward to sharing in the excitement and watching the camp impact the lives of children both now and in future."

Driven by a desire to help kids, Bland, a former wide receiver with the Minnesota Vikings, came up with the idea for PROtential Sports while hosting a series of summer camps with several NFL stars. The success of the camps motivated Bland to start his own. Partnering with his wife Nyree Bland, a professional tennis standout, Bland launched PROtential Sports several years ago and now has six camps around the Tampa Bay area.

Based in Tampa, PROtential Sports recently announced strategic franchise growth plans, offering motivated individuals, especially those who have competed at a high level, a platform to showcase the skills and values they’ve picked up in the sporting arena.

The summer camp at Rivercrest will run June 17-21 and Aug. 12-16. The cost is $95 per week.
