Following a terrific Chain Link Fundamentals clinic and HOH store opening in NJ, Chain Link Fundamentals traveled down to Baltimore, Maryland for two days of on court teaching leading up to the NHSI which took place at Coppin State University later in the week.

On Monday March 29th the Chain Link staff and 100 student athlete participants gathered at Lake Clifton High School for three great hours of basketball. The energy and excitement in the gym was contagious as the coaches and players gave their all to make this a terrific clinic. Being able to execute a quality program at Lake Clifton was very exciting as their legendary coach Herman “Tree” Harried was on hand to not only watch but lend a hand and speak with the Chain Link coaching staff and participants.

John Celestand sharing some knowledge with the Chain Link audience

Willowbrook (Wayne, NJ): March 27th Chain Link Fundamentals held a skills camp at the Wayne PAL for local high school student athletes. But this wasn’t any normal clinic. Former New Jersey High School state champion, Villanova standout and NBA World Champion as a member of the 2000 Los Angeles Lakers, John Celestand joined a terrific coaching staff to show the local athletes some drills that they could take home with them in order to take their games to the next level.

The clinic was then followed by the latest House of Hoops store opening at the Willowbrook Mall. Joining Celestand was current ESPN college basketball analyst Jay WIlliams the former Duke All-American and New Jersey native.

Together they helped honor players John Snow (Junior Guard from Montclair Kimberley Academy) and Brianne Traub (Junior Guard from Eastern Christian High School) along with coach Janice Walker of the East Orange All-Stars and the Jersey Jayhawks program for their role in advancing the lives of their student athletes and their role in the community.
