The Portland Fire and Fred Meyer have teamed together to form the Fred Meyer Youth Clinics, a series of monthly basketball clinics conducted by Fire players and coaches throughout the greater Portland area. On Feb. 23, the clinic went to Memorial Elementary School in McMinnville, Oregon, with team captain Sophia Witherspoon , Assistant Coach Jessie Kenlaw and Spot leading the way. Everyone in attendance received a Fire gift package. The clinics feature four stations, each focusing on quickness, ballhandling, shooting form and defense. Future Fred Meyer clinics are planned throughout the Portland metro area in the three remaining months prior to the start of the Fire 2001 season.
Participants show their ball-handling skills.
