NLEX looks to make impact not just on the court but off it as well.
Aiming to give back and empower communities through sports, the NLEX Road Warriors kicked off their first-ever Coaches Camp in Bulacan last Saturday, Nov. 23.
Over 35 barangay and school coaches participated in the event headed by Larry Fonacier. Road Warriors Sean Anthony and Asi Taulava were also present.
"Through this activity, NLEX hopes to make a positive impact in the communities we serve. We want to inspire participants to become great coaches and grow as better leaders. Coaching extends far beyond the court — it’s about fostering discipline, teamwork and perseverance,” said NLEX vice president for communication and stakeholder management Donna Faylona-Marcelo.

“Coaching is not just about basketball. The lessons learned here, whether about strategy or mentorship, can also be applied in their everyday life. We hope this camp leaves a lasting positive impact on everyone involved,” Marcelo added.
Fonacier was glad to be given the opportunity to help aspiring coaches.
“I am happy for the opportunity to contribute in any way to help aspiring coaches better understand the game and their players. Basketball has always been a sport that has given us so much, and NLEX is always eager to share its knowledge and resources with coaches, both on and off the court,” said Fonacier.
NLEX remains committed to fostering talent and leadership through programs that support grassroots basketball and community development.
The Coaches Camp caravan is set to roll on other provinces in the north.
