HAVERFORD, Pa. - The 13th annual Hoops from the Heart Martin Luther King youth basketball clinic will take place at Haverford College’s Gardner Integrated Athletic Center on Monday, Jan. 20, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The clinic, open to boys and girls in grades one through eight, will cover all aspects of fundamental play. Each player will get a complimentary T-shirt. Cost for the clinic is $30 ($20 each additional sibling). Proceeds from the annual event will benefit the Community Action Agency of Delaware County (CAADC), which provides services to needy families in our own communities. In addition to operating shelters and daycare facilities for individuals and families, the CAADC also provides many vital services including welfare to work programs and food and fuel assistance. Players are asked to bring one or two non-perishable food items or canned goods to the event for the CAADC Food Bank.

The clinic, co-sponsored by the Haverford Township Recreation Department, will be conducted by Haverford College women’s basketball coach Bobbi Morgan and men’s coach Mike Mucci and members of the Fords’ college hoop teams.
