Spring Break Hoops

Basketball is a sport that has a lot of moving parts both mentally and physically. The Trail Blazers host a spring break clinic for kids to learn about both sides of the sport. With Us founder Pat Connaughton, along with Noah Vonleh, visited the kids during one of the days to talk about these different sides of basketball.

Some of the topics Noah and Pat touched upon were…

  • Encourage kids to have fun and work hard

  • Talk about taking care of your bodies – eating healthy, proper sleep, being active

  • Importance of education & respecting your coach, teammates, parents, teachers, friends, etc.

They also took pictures and signed autographs for all 50 kids that were in attendance before heading back to practice.
