Basketball Buddies off to a great start

Posted by Falcons Fan on October 3, 2009

The first week of Falcon Basketball Buddies was a bunch of fun for both the young kids and our college players. The kids did ball handling drills, played shooting games and raced in dribble relays with the Falcons. We had 13 Buddies the first week which is a nice turnout for our first year with the Buddy program. We plan on community participation growing in future years, but we’re off to a great start.
