The SIUE men’s and women’s basketball teams welcomed some special guests to the Vadalabene Center on Dec. 30th. The Cougar hoopsters hosted a free Special Olympics clinic from 5:30-7 p.m.
“We were excited about the opportunity to host a clinic for Special Olympians,” said SIUE women’s basketball Head Coach Paula Buscher. “We feel it is extremely important to give back to our community and working with fellow athletes is a great fit for us. These athletes work hard and the opportunity to interact with our men and women was a win for all of us.”
The clinic included drills, healthy living information, pictures with Eddie the Cougar as well as SIUE team pictures and autographs.
