🏀 The Union County Board of County Commissioners invites residents with Disabilities and Special Needs to the 2026 Beginner Basketball Clinic. The program focuses on introducing the fundamentals of basketball through adaptive techniques, where participants will learn basic skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, through structured activities that promote coordination, confidence, and social interaction. The clinic is designed for individuals with little to no basketball experience.
The first clinic will take place on Friday, June 26, at 7:00 p.m. for 7- to 12-year-old players and at 8:00 p.m. for participants ages 13 and up.
A second basketball clinic will take place on Saturday, June 27th, at 9:00 a.m. for 7-12-year-old players, and at 10:00 a.m. for players ages 13 and up.
📍 Both Basketball Clinics will be held at the Roselle Park Youth Center, located at 234 Chestnut Street in Roselle Park.
⛹️♀️ Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable athletic clothing and sneakers, and to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. Participants are also advised to avoid eating 1–2 hours before the session to ensure comfort during activities. Caregivers are kindly requested to remain on-site to supervise participants throughout the program. Please note that spots are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
