Basketball in the Barrio set for 31st year - Mini Dribblers

The camp has always been affiliated with Athletes United for Peace, a national non-profit organization that is in Berkeley, Calif., Chicago, El Paso and New York City and the UN. Steve Yellen, a former UTEP player and now a financial adviser, is the president of the organization.

"Bradburd is a dribbling master who has worked individually with NBA players and conducted ball handling clinics around the world. He and Yellen have kept the Mini-Dribblers as part of a staple in the El Paso and Las Cruces youth athletic scene."
