Players participating in the annual Outrigger Hotels and Resorts Hoop and Surf Tournament, including a number of NCAA Division II Women’s college basketball teams, players, and coaches, will be on hand to offer kids help with fundamental skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting. The clinics will also provide an opportunity for players to interact with college-level coaches and players. Outrigger Hotels and Resorts will also award prizes to some participants.
