Free Boys’ Basketball Clinic for Grades 4-8

The Huntington High School varsity boys’ basketball program will host a free clinic for Huntington UFSD boys in grades 4-8 on Wednesday, May 14 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. in the high school gym. Mark your calendar now.

Varsity head coach Peter Lipka and assistants Patrick Reilly and Joe Crocco will work with clinic participants as will current Blue Devil varsity players.

Coach Lipka is entering his fourth year with the Blue Devils. He played four years at Farmingdale State College and led the nation in three-point shooting percentage as a sophomore. He went on to coach for a decade at the US Merchant Marine Academy and CW Post. He works in Queens as a physical education teacher.

The Huntington coaches will work with clinic participants on dribbling/ball handling, passing, shooting and defending skills. There will be fun drills and games as well as time set aside for some scrimmaging.

Boys of all levels of ability are welcome to attend the clinic. Those seventh and eighth graders who played this past winter on the two Finley Middle School boys’ teams are especially encouraged to participate as are any Finley students who didn’t play on the school team but who are interested.

Clinic participants should come dressed to play. Contact Coach Lipka at lipkap11@gmail.com for more information.
