Coaches vs. Cancer Coaching Clinic

COACHES VS. CANCER BASKETBALL COACHING CLINIC

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2011

The Coaches vs. Cancer Coaching Clinic is for boys and girls basketball coaches of all levels of play, including elementary, jr. high, high school, and AAU.  It is a chance to share ideas with fellow coaches, and improve your own coaching style...and of course, contribute to a very worthy charity! 

Coaches Mick Pentoney (Hollidaysburg Boys Basketball), Jodi Hilligass (Westmont Hilltop Girls Basketball), and Paul Holzshu (Shaler Boys Basketball) will join Mount Aloysius men's basketball coach Lance Loya for the instructional clinic, which will include on-court player demonstrations. 

The Clinic will be held in the Health and Fitness Center on the campus of Mount Aloysius College.  The cost of the clinic is $20 per coach or $30 for the entire coaching staff from the same school. 

ALL proceeds from the clinic go to the American Cancer Society's Coaches vs. Cancer charity to support cancer research and awareness programs.

For more information, email lloya@mtaloy.edu or call (814) 886-6314.
