Recent Highlights
Our 2009 clinic was a great experience for the 24 students who attended. They gym was full of energy as the Hartwick players coached students through different drills. Everyone wanted to practice shooting baskets and there was a large cheering section of family and friends encouraging each student as they practiced. The highlight of the final scrimmage was when one of the participants manuevered past a Hartwick College defender and dunked the ball. What a way to end the day!
