PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Boys & Girls Club of the Berkshires welcomes Frank Martin, head coach for the men's basketball team at the University of Massachusetts, and his staff and players for a free clinic. 

 

The youth basketball clinic will be held on Thursday, July 24, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the club's gymnasium, located at 16 Melville St.

 

This one-day clinic is open to any boy or girl in Berkshire County who will be entering Grades 3 through 7 in September. No club membership is required to participate, but registration is limited to 70 and is required in advance at www.bgcberkshires.org.
