Basketball players and coaches wanted
By The Garden Island
The National Junior Basketball (NJB), the largest youth basketball organization in the nation, will bring our highly organized basketball leagues to Kaua‘i this year.
Coach Maynard Shea is conducting an introduction, free coaches and players clinic at Kalaheo Neighborhood Center on August 28. 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. will be the coaches clinic and from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. will be for grades three to six (beginner), and seven to eight grades (advanced) will have their clinic from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. All coaches, from community to high school are encouraged to attend.
NJB is 40,000 athletes strong in 135+ cities. Boys and Girls in Grades 1 through 8 are eligible to participate. The first 100 athletes will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. High school coaches and players are encouraged to attend this excellent clinic that will help build a foundation for Kaua‘i’s growing basketball program.
