Don Ross is all geared up for the reopening of his Don Ross School of Basketball. The new season's programme will introduce participants to the fundamentals and techniques of basketball in a fun and friendly atmosphere.

Don Ross Kinnie School of Basketball will take place at its home gym at St Martins College in Swatar. The training sessions begin as from Saturday September 6, 2003, and will be held from 1.00pm to 5.00pm. The sessions are divided in different categories for boys and girls according to ages. These are 5 to 8 year olds; 8 to10 year olds; 13 year olds and under; and 15 year olds and under.

Don Ross, who returned to Malta after an absence of one year, said "My aim is to offer fun for kids and drug-free living through sports participation. I would like to thank the sponsors, Kinnie, St Martins College and Sedqa for their support in making this new basketball programme possible."

Kinnie Brand Executive, Alison Bezzina, said: "Kinnie is once again supporting the Don Ross Kinnie School of Basketball. Kinnie is now synonymous with this sport and the basketball school will provide another opportunity for young kids to discover and sharpen their basketball talents in a fun and healthy environment."
