Parkes PCYC has been a hive of activity these last school holidays and among the action has been a special basketball clinic.

Basketball NSW held a free session at the local premises in Pearce Street to showcase the new program that's starting at the PCYC in Term 4, called Aussie Hoops.

Led by Coach Davey Saunders, it's Basketball Australia's official introductory program designed to teach skills and promote a healthy, active lifestyle.

More than 40 children took part in the clinic on 8 October and reports are they had an "absolute blast".

"Coach Davey Saunders was there meeting all of the kids and hopefully we’ll see some of them come back," said Parkes PCYC club manager Kimberley Sherrett.

"We hope to see the same energy at our Aussie Hoops program starting in Term 4."

Basketball NSW regional development officer for the Riverina, Isabel Forbes accompanied Coach Saunders to Parkes and she said "all the boys and girls gave it a red hot go and had great sportsmanship along the way".

If you're looking for a fun, inclusive activity for your five to 12-year-old, why not give Aussie Hoops a go at the Parkes PCYC.

It runs every Tuesday afternoon at 4.30pm, beginning tomorrow 14 October, and includes a basketball and personalised singlet and PCYC membership ($15 value).

The first two weeks are open for people to come and try the program, with registrations closing in two weeks.
