Girls hoops clinics

Basketball clinics for girls entering fourth through sixth grades will be held Fridays, 6–7 p.m., in the Bryan Community Center gym. The first session is planned for Aug. 19.

The program is designed to provide instruction and skill building for girls new to basketball and those already participating in the program. Each clinic will consist of fundamentals instruction and drills, dribbling and shooting games, and scrimmages.

The clinics complement the KTC (Kenton Trace Conference) traveling team program that includes four Yellow Springs teams of girls and boys in the fifth and sixth grades. Fourth graders are eligible to play on the fifth-grade teams. Teams form in November and the season starts in January. Interested players may register onsite. For more information, call Rich Miller at 767-2049.
