Over
fifty elementary, middle and high school kids came to Greater
Fall River ReCreation for two days of a basketball clinic during the
winter school vacation on February 17and 18, 2015. Students had the
chance to learn new skills and to sharpen their game through both
instruction and free play. The event was scheduled during a period of
many days of school closings due to record amounts of snow and provided
lots of much-needed physical activity for the boys and girls who
participated. The free event was the brain child of Jeremy Lavoie, a 2009 graduate of
B.M.C. Durfee
High School who is currently enrolled in Manhattan
College, and Fall River
School Physical Education Teacher Jason Springer. Volunteer Kyle
Whalen assisted with much of the coaching. Mr. Lavoie
used basketball to help him stay focused in graduate high school and
further his education in college, and he wanted to pay that forward.
