Anguilla, – The Reach One Teach One – Building Bridges to Success initiative is proud to announce the return of Coach Najmuddin "Pharoah" Ahmad as Head of Basketball Operations for its highly anticipated 2nd annual basketball camp. Organised by the Top Hill Basketball Club the camp is set to take place on Anguilla from July 7th to 11th, 2025. Coach Najm will once again lead a team of highly qualified basketball coaches, bringing world-class expertise and mentorship to the island's aspiring athletes.

Coach Najmuddin Ahmad, also the Recruiting Coordinator for A Pharaoh's Touch, has dedicated over 40 years to the game of basketball. His remarkable journey began as a way to stay off the streets, quickly blossoming into a professional career that saw him receive his first pro contract offer at just 15 years old. As a former professional player, Coach Najm has competed in leagues across the globe, with standout experiences in the Philippines, China, Lebanon, Colombia, and the CBA.

He also earned two 10-day contracts in the NBA with the New Jersey Nets and Atlanta Hawks, participated in multiple NBA summer leagues, and was invited to six NBA training camps-making it to final cuts three times and earning a spot with the Clippers before an ACL injury.

Beyond his playing career, Coach Najm has served as a high school, AAU, professional, and national team coach, a professional player development trainer, a certified strength and conditioning coach, and is currently a FIBA and NBPA Agent. His passion for coaching and mentorship has led him to organize camps and workshops worldwide, helping countless young athletes unlock their full potential.

Through his company, A Pharaoh's Touch, Coach Najm continues to give back to the game that gave him everything. He is committed to equipping young people with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed-on and off the court-if they are willing to put in the work.

Coach Najmuddin Ahmad shared his excitement for the upcoming camp saying "Basketball has given me opportunities and life lessons that I could never have imagined as a young man. My mission now is to pass that on and help the next generation realize their own potential. I believe that with hard work, discipline, and the right guidance, these young athletes in Anguilla can achieve anything they set their minds to. I can't wait to get back on the court and help them take the next step in their journey."

The 2nd annual Reach One Teach One – Building Bridges to Success Basketball Camp promises a great experience for boys and girls aged 7 to 22, combining elite coaching, personal development, and opportunities for exposure to collegiate and professional pathways.
