Mohawk Valley Community College will host Junior Hawks Holiday Hoops Clinics for children in kindergarten through eighth grade in the Jorgensen Athletic and Event Center at the College’s Utica Campus, 1101 Sherman Drive.

There will be two sessions: Session 1 is from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 21 and 22, and Session 2 is from 9 a.m. to noon Thursday and Friday, Jan. 2 and 3. The cost is $40 for each two-day clinic or $70 for both clinics. Supplemental camp insurance is included in the registration fee.

The clinics, staffed by MVCC men’s and women’s coaches, assistant coaches, and players, as well as area college and high school coaches, are designed to teach kids the fundamentals of basketball. Campers are placed in age- and skill-appropriate groups to foster learning and interest, and youth baskets will be available for some age sections. A typical day at camp includes skills instruction for shooting, passing, dribbling, defense, and rebounding; games with coach point guards; individual instruction in small groups; and age-appropriate contests and activities. Campers should bring their own sneakers, shorts, and water bottle.
