Scotch Plains to Host Wolves This Summer
The Wolves Basketball Academy, which also incorporates a tennis program, will be hosting programs for children with special needs this summer at Kramer Park, 1950 Evelyn St.
Beginning June 4, the Wolves will run a tennis clinic from 6-7 p.m. on June 4, 11, 18 and 25, as well as July 9, 16, 23, 30 for a maximum of 25 children.
The tennis clinics will be run by Hadyn Bowles, who has coached for 15 years and has specific experience working with people of all ages and abilities. The fee is $25 per class. A summer basketball clinic begins Monday, June 7 at Kramer Park, also from 6-7pm, on June 7, 14, 21 and 28, as well as July 12, 19 and 26. The fee is also $25 per class.
Wolves provides a friendly and fun environment for children with special needs to learn the fundamentals of sports and playing on a team.
Wolves runs clinics for children with special needs during the late fall and winter on Saturday mornings in Scotch Plains. In the spring and summer Wolves runs a middle school league as well as a high school league that is an inclusion league. Every team has one to three special needs players mixed with non-special needs players. All games have referees and Wolves keep score.
“This is an amazing environment to teach the special needs players the TEAM concept and how to move without the ball and play defense,” said Jeff Mayerson, founder of Wolves. “It has been a big success!”
