Roughly one year after opening the first “Kevin’s Kourt” at the Boys & Girls Club in Hartford for athletes of all ages with disabilities, UConn men’s basketball coach Kevin Ollie helped celebrate the opening of a second court this past Friday in South Windsor.
The 40 by 50-foot court features ten stations by Bankshot, which makes baskets specifically for athletes with disabilities. Ollie also announced at Friday’s ceremony that two more Kevin’s Kourts - one in West Hartford and one in Waterbury - are slated to open this summer.
In addition to the new courts, Ollie has partnered with the Ryan Martin Foundation, which will host adaptive sports clinics at all Kevin’s Kourts locations.
