THUNDER BAY – Sara Yaseen is only 10 years old, but is already dreaming of being able to dunk a basketball.
Aside from the chance to play outside in the sun, Sara said she was intrigued by the sport and wanted to learn. Filza Asif, 12, is about to enter Grade 7, and unlike her school-mate Sara, she’s already spent plenty of time on the court, taking part in a number of Thunderwolves basketball camps over the years.
“It’s quite nice of them to take time from their lives to come and teach people basketball when they could be doing other stuff,” Filza said, adding she learned how to dribble the basketball between her legs, not to mention shooting and teamwork.Whalen, who has been at Lakehead for three years after graduating from Hammarsjkold High School, said the key is keeping it entertaining.
