5-Eleven Hoops and Autism Speaks have partnered to bring individuals on the Autism Spectrum and other intellectual/physical differences a day to train and play basketball like a pro.
Athletes will go through a series of drills working on agility, strength training, ball handling, shooting, passing, and socializing with peers. Each participant will receive a t-shirt, water and snack.
The goal of this basketball clinic is to have a fun and inclusive environment for kids and young adults with special needs while bridging the socialization gap with peers who are NOT diagnosed with an intellectual or physical difference as they will serve as our peer coaches during the clinic.
