Register Today for Hancock Girl's Basketball and Baseball Youth Clinics Scheduled for June 19-22

Parents looking to keep their children active and out of the house this summer have multiple options to consider thanks to the Allan Hancock College athletics department. This month, the baseball program will offer two youth clinics, and the women's basketball team will host a four-day clinic. The clinics are designed for children ages 6 to 13 of all skill levels.

"Hancock is a tremendous place and a source of athletic pride on the Central Coast," said Kim Ensing, Hancock athletic director and associate dean. "We have an extremely talented coaching staff and student-athletes at the college who are excited to pass on their skills and knowledge to area youth. These camps are great opportunities for children to learn or improve in a sport and become familiar with Hancock athletics."

Hancock women's basketball head coach Cary Nerelli, a C.I.F. Hall of Fame inductee with more than 30 years of coaching experience, will hold a girl's basketball summer clinic from Monday, June 19, through Thursday, June 22, inside Joe White Memorial Gymnasium. From 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each day, Hancock coaches and players will help campers learn and improve the essential fundamentals of the game. The $75 registration fee is due the first day of camp, either cash or check made payable to "Allan Hancock College Women's Basketball."
