About
25 elementary and middle school kids came to Greater
Fall River ReCreation for three days of a basketball clinic during the
spring school vacation on April 21,22 and 23, 2015. Students had the
chance to learn new skills and to sharpen their game through both
instruction and free play. The event 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. Volunteers Kyle
Whalen and Johnny LeBeau assisted with 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.
