Launch the media gallery 1 player

Argonia Elementary students in first and second grade participated in a month–long biddy ball clinic conducted by Coach Almanza.  For four Sundays in January and February, the “Lil’ Raiders” practiced dribbling, passing, and shooting with Coach Almanza.  At the end of the clinic the kids participated in a mini biddy ball game at half time of the Argonia High School girls game against South Haven.  Everyone had a lot of fun and enjoyed playing in front of a huge crowd.   We even scored a few baskets!!

This marks the fourth year Coach Almanza has conducted a clinic for first and second graders.  All years have been very successful.  Nine youngsters participated in this year’s clinic.  They were:   

Second Graders:             

Lucas

Grant

Noah

First Graders

Tori

Kara

Carson

Rhett

Joey

Autumn

The introduction of basic skills at an early age will certainly benefit these young players as they get older and stronger.  In addition to having fun and improving on their basketball skills, each player also received a t-shirt for attending the clinic. Coach Almanza would like to thank all the parents who brought their kids to the clinic every Sunday.   This summer Coach Almanza will conduct a week long basketball camp for all ages, so look for sign up sheets in the Spring!!
