Over 40 Kids Participate in Via's 40th Annual All-Star Basketball Clinic

Via, a Lehigh Valley human services agency dedicated to children with special needs. conducted its own version of March Madness this month, under the roof of Northampton Community College's Spartan Center. Over forty kids participated in an All-Star Basketball Clinic that went through some fundamentals, but was mostly just fun.

The Clinic started with a dunking demonstration by Notre Dame (East Stroudsburg) Seniors (L to R) Ramon Nedd, Tyrell Mann and Jeremiah Pusey. They were wearing their game faces in preparation for Via's East-West Tournament, at the end of this month.

Pocono Mountain West Seniors Rana James (L) and Jackie Benitez, who were playing pick-up games with the kids, were more willing to smile.

No, this is not dodge ball. Kids in this clinic went through dribbling fundamentals.
