RRD-Inday Sara cage clinic goes back to Paquibato District

RRD-Inday Sara cage clinic goes back to Paquibato District

The 2009 Mayor Rody and Inday Sara Duterte Basketball Clinic gets going on June 27 and 28 at the Barangay Paňalum in Paquibato District.
Former Philippine Basketball Association and Metropolitan Basketball Association player Cadel Mosqueda and veteran coach Alberto Malinao will spearhead the group of clinicians from the Sports Development Division of the City Mayors Office.
They will teach young boys and girls the basics of shooting, dribbling and passing and simple plays and drills.

" The basics of dribbling and shooting that include the proper shooting form will be tackled in the first day while the fundamentals of passing and other drills will be discussed on the final day," SDD-CMO said in a statement.

Some 100 participants are expected to take part in the two-day clinic that does not only help develop skills in basketball, but also personality development.

Mayor Rody and Vice Mayor Sara wants the children in the locality to actively engage into sports at an early age, believing the value of sports to make difference in young lives and an effective tool to combat negative influences and behaviors.

"We recognized the importance of the young ones to be in sports and encourage them to stay in sports activities, " SDD-CMO added.

The clinic, a component of the Duterte Basketball League (DBL) that organized tournaments for Christians, Muslims and Lumads in the city, is conducted to give the youth an avenue to engage in sports at an early age.

Last month, a total of 98 young basketball enthusiasts have joined the clinic in Barangay Mabuhay also in Paquibato District.
The clinics have benefitted thousands of boys and girls from 184 barangays in Davao City since 2003.
