iCAN Hoop
Created in 2009, iCANhoop basketball brings athletes ages 5& up with cognitive and physical disabilities together with typical kids for a basketball experience neither child will ever forget!
In each 1 hour Clinic, our special athletes learn:
Ball Handling
Dribbling
Passing
Defense
and of course, everyone’s favorite; Shooting!
Each athlete is paired with a buddy upon entering the gym. Buddies and Athletes then spend the first few minutes shooting around and getting to know each other. Each session starts with a few warm up games, then we break into our skills and drills. iCANhoop is non-competitive, so while we do play group games (Shooting contest), or one-on-one, we typically do not play actual basketball games.
