We were thrilled to have 25 Little Dribblers (K-1st grade) and 25 Shooting Stars (2nd-3rd grade) participate in our six-week basketball clinic this year.  Both groups worked hard throughout the year on basic basketball skills.  All participants improved on their listening, dribbling, passing, defense, rebounding and shooting skills.  The highlight of the clinic occurred when all participants demonstrated their skills at halftime of the Boys basketball game on December 5 against Jefferson.  The Little Dribblers and Shooting Stars also had the chance to root for two of their coaches, Casey and Matt, as they led the Whippets to a great win over Jefferson. 

Coach Bob stated: “If the Little Dribblers and Shooting Stars continue their dedication and positive work ethic regarding basketball practice and games, the future of boys and girls basketball will be very bright!”

The coaches and Whitewater Park District also want to extend a large THANK YOU to all the parents who helped with practices and supported these young basketball players.

We hope to see all of the kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders back next year.  We wish our 3rd graders best of luck as they join traveling basketball.

Happy Holidays,

Coaches Gerry, Casey, Matt and Bob
