Getting ready for streetball actionSaturday April 18, 2009 By Y.P. SIVAM
PROSPORTS, a basketball club based in Kepong Baru, is grateful to AND1 for initiating a coaching clinic for their trainees.
AND1 coaching crew comprising national women’s assistant coach Yoong Sze Yuin and internationals Thoh Chai Ling and Choo Shwok Ping spent almost two hours at Prosports’ centre of excellence.
Prosports coach Chow Chee Woo said the coaching sessions were interesting and their trainees had a good time.
“We have about 50 juniors in our training programme. Most of whom are also active in streetball. Both the internationals shared good rapport with the trainees. They interacted with the participants.

“It is not often that our trainees get the opportunity to meet the national players,’’ Chow said.
Thoh, who has been with the national squad for almost six years, said she was happy to share her skills with the young trainees.
The jovial Thoh, to the surprise of the trainees, displayed excellent skills in streetball.
The 26-year old said it was the third coaching clinic.
“We have been getting good response and we hope to see the young players improve their skills,’’ said Thoh.
The coaching clinic was organised by Ossia World of Golf, the distributors of AND1 brand in Malaysia, in conjunction with the AND1 Streetball Challenge. The first leg of the Challenge will be at the Summit USJ on April 26.
Ossia World of Golf executive director Saw Swee Leong said they were on target of getting 350 teams for the first leg.
“We are going to public courts to conduct the clinics. Despite the late evening rainy season, we have been getting encouraging response from the children. We are optimistic of a good turn out for the first leg,’’ said Saw.
