"We serve 8,000 kids in Jr. Clippers today and that number continues to grow. No doubt, with this beautiful new court, children across Mid Valley will flock to this Y so they can don their own Jr. Clippers jersey, learn the great game of basketball, and the positive lessons associated with it like teamwork, perseverance, sportsmanship, to win with grace, and to lose with dignity." -Mark Helm, Chairman of the Board
