Thursday night, some members of the Molloy Women’s basketball team went to a basketball clinic for children with autism and downs syndrome at St. Marks in Rockville Centre . The players that attended were: Christina Marra, Molly Dreyer, Caitlin Wheeler, Laura Rivera, Courtney Dolnick, and Liz Alagna. Molloy assistant coach Lisa Staab also attended. The players enjoyed the opportunity give back to the community. Here is what the players said about the clinic:
“I love helping children fall in love with the sport of basketball. Seeing their bright eyes and smiles on their faces is really something truly amazing. They just want to learn and have fun.” Christina Marra said.
“It was good, I love working at clinics, I do a lot of them in the summer so I enjoyed tonight. Something I'd definitely do on my free time.” Laura Rivera said.
“I really liked it, I think everyone had a really good time! Seeing the kids have fun and actually start playing made me so excited.” Molloy Dreyer said.
“It was fun, I love giving back it really makes me appreciate the life that I have.” Courtney Dolnick said.
“It was awesome. I felt like we made those kids day. And if it takes me an hour out of my day to make those kids so happy. I would do it every day.” Caitlin Wheeler said.
I also attended the clinic. It was fun watching the kids enjoy the game of basketball and was fun sharing in a game we all love.
