Area youth sharpened their basketball skills Thursday and today during the Jeff Boschee Basketball Clinic in El Dorado.
"We're going to work pretty hard today," said David Devaney, former head college coach and former graduate assistant at the University of Kansas, who was directing the clinic.
"If you take everything we teach you today and tomorrow and practice it for the next couple of weeks you will be a much better player when you go back to school," he told the kids during one of the sessions.
He told them if they continue practicing they will become even better players.
Devaney was joined in the clinic by Boschee, who is the all-time leading three-point scorer in Kansas history, and KU basketball players Royce Woolridge, a freshman from Arizona, and Thomas Robinson, a sophomore from Washington, D.C.
"The biggest thing for a coach is that you listen," Boschee told the kids.
The kids took part in several drills, including power skips, zig zag runs and various dribbling and passing exercises. They learned such things as how to get out of a double team, including backing up while dribbling and doing crossovers.
There were clinics held for youth going into grades three through six and seven through 12. This was the second time the clinic was held in El Dorado.
