BASKETBALL CLINIC WILL IMPROVE SKILLS AND CREATE SMILES

Four referees from the National Basketball Association will conduct a clinic for disabled young people at Don Guanella School on August 10. Don Guanella is an Archdiocese of Philadelphia school in Springfield, Delaware County for developmentally disabled youths ranging in age from six to 21.

The clinic will involve passing, shooting and other skills. There will also be a three-point shooting contest and the boys will be giving technical fouls to the referees.
