St. Paul's Parish Athletic Program
Warm-up Basketball Clinic, October 8, 2005

SPAC's Warm-up basketball clinic was a fun time for all!

On Saturday, October 8, 71 players from various St. Paul’s Parish Basketball teams in grades 2 to 8 participated in a kick-off clinic to start the 2005 - 06 basketball season.

Under the direction of Mercer County Community College’s Head Men’s and Women’s basketball coaches, Mr. Kelly Williams and Mr. Mike Tenaglia, all participants enjoyed a day full of fun, instruction, free food and prizes. Participants were instructed in various offensive and defensive techniques and had the chance to hone their skills by participating in a number of drills.

Not only did everyone have a great time, but it was also a chance for the coaches to see their players work out for the first time this season. Grades 4 and above will start league play during the early part of November. The second and third grade clinics will start after the first of the year.
