Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Cardinal Cushing Centers is proud to be chosen as a host site for the 2016
Jr. Celtics Program.
Beginning in February, the Jr. Celtics Program is a four week program for
children with intellectual disabilities enrolled in grades three to five.
The program is designed to help participants develop their basketball game
through skills, drills and leadership training. The skills and drills are
all designed by coaches of the Boston Celtics and help challenge
participants in measurable ways over the course of four weeks. After
attending one of the Jr. Celtics clinics where they learn directly from
Celtics players, participants continue to improve their skills at their
home gym. The players track their skills on official Jr. Celtics Score
Sheets and data is reported back to the Celtics. They are challenged
through these clinics to improve their skills for a chance to come to a
Celtics Basketball Game as a Jr. Celtics All-Star.
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Boston Celtics,”
said Cushing’s Vice President of Development, Jansi Chandler. “We
kicked off our collaboration on a wonderfully high note, with the Boston
Celtics and TD Bank overhauling our Recreation Center. It’s now a
beautiful and comfortable space where students can socialize and relax with
one another afterschool and on the weekends. We can’t wait to see
what’s next!”
The Cardinal Cushing Centers Jr. Celtics program will be held on Saturday
mornings from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. in their school gym, located at 405
Washington Street. For more information or to sign up please contact Tom
McElman at 781-829-1295 or tmcelman@cushingcenters.org .
