Basketball Clinics

AT HILLSIDE COMMUNITY CENTER | 925 S. Institute STREET 80903

 

WHAT WE DO

Hillside Connection provides youth boys and girls (Grades 1st -8th) with an opportunity to develop fundamental basketball skills while gaining exposure to new experiences and mentors throughout the Pikes Peak Region. Free basketball clinics are held on week days (and select Sundays) in the Winter and Summer months in three-session increments at the Hillside Community Center (925 S.

In order to be eligible for enrichment activities (field trips etc.), youth must attend at least 2 out of 3 basketball clinic sessions, participate in community service activities, turn in a participation form, and provide a copy of their most recent report card.
