Basketball Clinic Closed to High School Players
- Share via
The free YMCA youth basketball clinic to be conducted Saturday by UC Irvine Coach Rod Baker is closed to high school players but is open to boys and girls in the first through eighth grades.
High school players are excluded because of NCAA rules restricting contact between coaches and prospective student-athletes.
Baker, a former Seton Hall assistant preparing for his first season at Irvine, will lead the one-hour clinic at the Newport-Costa Mesa Family YMCA at 10 a.m. Saturday. Registration is at 9 a.m.
The clinic, part of a national centennial celebration of the invention of the game by James Naismith in December, 1891, will be followed by a shooting contest at 11:30 a.m.
