Westfield State University women’s basketball players made some new friends at their skills clinic.
WESTFIELD – The Westfield State University women’s basketball team recently held a clinic for Westfield area children and adults with developmental disabilities. The skills clinic was coordinated by WSU women’s basketball head coach Andrea Bertini and Mary Paquette, the community liaison for Multicultural Community Services (MCS).
MCS is an agency that helps children and adults with developmental disabilities, and it has worked with colleges over the years on different programs.
Under Coach Bertini’s direction, the women’s basketball team held a short skills clinic for the MCS clients, who were able to interact with WSU team members during and after the session.
Paquette noted that some of her clients belong to Special Olympic basketball teams and would greatly benefit from seeing and interacting with coaches and players from the college ranks.
“I believe that this clinic will not only enrich our clients lives but also those of your student-athletes and coaches,” said Paquette.
