Middle Village, NY — May 03, 2026
The Take Heart Foundation is proud to announce the official launch of its Hot Shots Basketball Clinic, created in partnership with Hot Shots Basketball – NYC. This new program is designed to provide young athletes with a structured, inclusive, and high-energy environment focused on skill development, confidence-building, and teamwork.
The inaugural clinic will take place on Saturday, May 30th, and will be organized into two age-based, sessions to ensure a focused and impactful experience for every participant:
• Session 1 (60 minutes): Kindergarten–4th Grade (maximum 15 participants) • Session 2 (60 minutes): 5th–8th Grade (maximum 15 participants)
Each session will feature a curriculum tailored specifically to the age group and will be led by experienced Hot Shots Basketball coaches. The program emphasizes fundamentals such as shooting, ball handling, and game awareness, while fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere for all participants.
Enrollment is intentionally limited to 15 participants per session to maintain a high-quality experience and individualized attention.
“This partnership represents an exciting step forward in expanding access to meaningful youth programming for young athletes with developmental disabilities,” said Graceann Faulkner, Co-founder Take Heart Foundation. “We’re focused on creating an environment where every child can play, belong and thrive.”
