NEW YORK -- For the 15th straight year, the Columbia women's basketball team took part in a youth clinic at the Greenwich Village Girls Basketball League in lower Manhattan.
On January 9, all 16 members of the squad took a trip to the Chinatown YMCA and helped nearly 100 youngsters hone their skills on the basketball court. Director of women's basketball operations Nick Burke coordinated the group activities, and worked in conjunction with Harry Malakoff, the league's director.
The league combines volunteer coaching, mentorship opportunities and strong community and parental support with a well-run basketball league for 9-14 year old girls. The League emphasizes fun, teamwork, and a chance for everyone to play.
