PC And The Civic Center Authority To Sponsor Hoop Clinic For City Boys And Girls

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Providence College and the Providence Civic Center Authority will sponsor a basketball clinic for 150 boys and girls from the City of Providence on Tuesday, May 8th at Alumni Hall on the College's campus from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m.
The clinic is part of a Town and Gown Program which the College and the Authority designed earlier this year. The program also includes complimentary tickets for Providence school children to selected Friar games during the basketball season.
Players from both the College's men's and women's teams will be on hand along with Head Coaches Tim Welsh and Jim Jabir to provide instruction, lectures and drills. "This is a great opportunity for our players to help teach area youngsters the fundamentals of basketball," Welsh stated. "Our student-athletes genuinely enjoy the interaction with the kids and it also provides them a forum to be positive role models in our community."
Joshua Teverow, Chairman of the Civic Center Authority, echoed Welsh's comments and added, "I expect this program to also be a positive experience for many of the City's school children who are being given the unique opportunity to interact with Coach Welsh, Coach Jabir, and many of the Providence players who act as role models for our youth. The Civic Center Authority felt it was important to not only provide the people of Rhode Island the opportunity to see the Friars compete through a new three-year contract between the College and the Civic Center, but also to provide the opportunity for our young people to be inspired by example."
The College has played all of its men's basketball games at the City's 13,100-seat facility since 1973, and this past year signed a three-year contract to continue playing their games there through the 2002-03 season.
