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.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
