Fifty excited pupils from Two Mile Ash School signed up for a Basketball Coaching Clinic Special this Sunday (6th November) with Prestige Homes MK Lions, Milton Keynes own professional basketball team. Students not only benefitted from an interactive and engaging one hour coaching session followed by pizza but also watched the Lions play against rivals Guildford Heat which proved to be one of the most tense matches of the season! 
Arranged by Shirley Townsend, Head of Extended Schools at Two Mile Ash, the pupils enjoyed an action packed, fun coaching clinic with players Ishmael Fontaine and Cameron Bernard where they were taught shooting and ball handling skills whilst proud parents watched at the side line. A tasty pizza and drink followed afterwards and then pupils, parents and staff watched MK Lions play a thrilling, close match against Guildford Heat, with our local boys just clinching a win 98 – 82!. Shirley Townsend said “the children have had an amazing afternoon, it was a great mix of basketball tuition and entertainment, we will definitely be organising another one for next year”. Available throughout the season at every home game, The Coaching Clinic Special for schools costs just £12 per head and includes a one hour coaching session by a professional coach/player, a pizza meal courtesy of Frankie and Bennies and a ticket to watch the MK Lions in action playing a home match. Accompanying school staff each receive complimentary tickets and the school gets a ‘shout out’ and free photograph with a player.
