The General Heiser Boys & Girls Club in Dumfries is enjoying being back in “Fully Operational Mode.” Through the month of September we have been planning, planning, and planning, but now in October the fall sports season has begun at this club for the first time in three years.
With plans of starting a full fledge basketball league the spring 2013, the Fall Basketball Clinic began Oct 3. The sessions are divided into two age groups, ages 5-9-years-old and ages 10-14-years-old.
The clinic covers the basic fundamentals of basketball, teaches children how to display good sportsmanship, and how to be a good teammate. If your child is ready to get started with their basketball career or get back on the court, this clinic is where you need to be.
The 5-9-year-old age group sessions are Wednesdays from 6 to 7:30 pm and Saturdays 9:30 to 11 a.m. The 10-14-year-old age group sessions are Thursdays 6 to 7:30 p.m. and Saturdays 11 to 12:30 p.m.
