Hundreds of local kids headed to the Capitol with basketballs in hand to learn how to dribble, play defense and make a shot at the Hoopla Free Kids Clinic.
The clinic, led by Salem Capitals owner Jason Conrad, was held on Court Street from 10 a.m. to noon Friday. It drew a crowd of young basketball players who did skill-building drills and got coaching from local high school and college players.
Hoopla’s main event will kick off this weekend, starting Saturday at 8 a.m. with the national anthem.
