Coach Skye Buck offers tips and encouragement to elementary school hoopsters doing lay-up drills at RRES. Grade 5 student Tristan Blackmore (l) and Grade 4 student Nathan Shelrud (r) get ready to drive at the hoop and “put the biscuit in the basket” in the after school program.

Raft River Elementary School students are getting the opportunity to learn some of the basics of basketball from coach Skye Buck. Wife Courtney and some volunteer high school players are assisting him.

As players, Skye and Courtney got started in similar programs, also run by local volunteer coaches. They are in the middle of the eight-week program that is designed to teach some of the basics while at the same time creating a fun activity. Safety Mart is contributing to this program by donating healthy snacks for these enthusiastic young athletes.
