The event served as an assessment practicum for the officials that attended the basketball clinic Oct. 24 through 27. As a side note, that clinic had record attendance for the garrison.

The second purpose of the clinic was to serve as a preview of the upcoming unit basketball season, which kicks off Nov. 8. Sports and Fitness is still seeking teams to sign up for the event, and wishes to get the word out on the basketball program.
