Most experts agree that playing sports is one of the best character building activities that kids can involve themselves in from a very early age and onward. This is the primary reason that a Summer Basketball Clinic is set to run in July this summer and is open to kids from grade 6 through 12.
Basketball coaches Gerry Benoit and Richard Stewart are well aware of the fact that kids need team involvement from a very early age, and have both devoted their lives to helping kids become better team players by immersing themselves in sports.
Stewart says that there is nothing worse than seeing a dejected kid who hasn’t been taught the basics in order to help them succeed:

Wednesday July 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd
Thursday July 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th
The cost for both groups is $350.00.
