What's happening in Arnprior Special Olympics in 2018? Basketball Update I want to thank Erin from Brockville who is one of our coaches preparing for Nationals. Erin was able to host our Ontario team going to Nationals for basketball. Erin was able to get 9 players from Brockville for our team to play against. Although we did not have enough for a tournament we did have enough to have a very good practice. Everyone participated in a good warm up followed with a few skills traiming before playing a scrimmage. This was very important to have a competition while still preparing for our National games coming up very fast. With myself, Matt and Erin coaching today we are getting excited as our players are really working hard and are doing very well with the training we have been giving them. Thank you all for your help and we look forward to trying one more training session next month before we go to Nova Scotia.
