The Raleigh Parks Athletics department is slated to team up with the Charlotte Hornets from the National Basketball Association, for a one-day youth basketball clinic, dubbed as Impacting the Carolinas. Intended for kids and teens between the ages of 5 and 17, the event is scheduled to make a pit-stop at the Carolina Pines Community Center on September 10. An early evening spread of dribbling, passing, and shooting drills awaits those registered, all crafted to fit each age group snugly, according to the City of Raleigh's announcement.
Bringing the excitement of professional basketball to the local stage, the clinic not only aims to improve the young ballers’ skills but also serve as a beacon to draw communities together through sportsmanship and the shared love for the game. Registrants must check in by the targeted 5:50 p.m., with activities kicking off at 6 p.m. - a prime time for after-school engagement. Interested parties hitting the hardwood need to preregister, to ensure a spot on the clinic's roster.
Parents and guardians eager to learn more about this opportunity for their aspiring hoop shooters can make calls to the Athletic program line at 919-996-6836 or send their inquiries via an email trail to [email protected]. All the registration details and additional information about the clinic are visible on the Raleighnc.gov website.
