Providence Super Celtics Special Needs Basketball Clinic Returns In January

NEW LENOX, IL — The Providence Catholic Boys and Girls Basketball programs will host the 3rd Annual Super Celtics Special Needs Co-ed Basketball Clinic on January 2–3, 2026.

The clinic welcomes athletes with special needs ages 5–15 for skill-building, adaptive drills, and inclusive game play—each camper paired 1:1 or 2:1 with a Providence Catholic player “buddy” throughout the session.

“Basketball has a unique way of bringing people together,” said Jenna Maziur. “This clinic reminds us that the love of the game goes far beyond the court—it’s about inclusion, joy, and learning from one another.”

“Our girls and coaches enjoy this event every year,” said Eileen Copenhaver, Head Girls Basketball Coach. “It’s a joy to share the game we love while creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every athlete.”
