Fourth Sacred Thunder basketball clinic
The Fourth Annual Sacred Thun-
der basketball clinic hosted 109
young players, grades four through
12.
Youth from Warm Springs, Ma-
dras and Culver, and as far away as
Nisqually and Swinomish, attended.
Two basketball trainers were
brought in to show the youth new
and trending techniques in basket-
ball. Daniel Shaw, of Hoop Dia-
ries, is based out of Portland, and
Collin Castellaw, of Shot Mechan-
ics, is based out of Eagle, Idaho.
Both have years of experience
training elite athletes from the high
school level up to professionals,
domestically and internationally.
The youth had fun and learned
more than basketball. The coaches
shared the importance of discipline,
hard work, dedication, teamwork
and encouraging others no matter
what. The clinic would like to thank
our sponsors:
Identity Zone, Indian Head Ca-
sino, Warm Springs Power Enter-
prise, Brightwood Corporation,
Warm Springs Composite Products,
Kah-Nee-Ta Resort and Spa, the
Warm Springs Credit Enterprise
and private donors.
Thank you for your support. It
was a great weekend of Basketball.
