Launceston Basketball Association in conjunction with Kai Woodfall's KWBasketball conducted a two-day clinic at Elphin Sports Centre and the Silverdome, keeping up to 50 children active.
Launceston Tornadoes coach Sarah Veale ran the clinic in her son's absence with the help of Sejr Deans, Harry Flint, Micah Simpson and Aishah Anis after the scheduled March date was postponed.

"Just to have them back on court is fantastic, we're teaching them and they are learning again," Veale said.
"We've got elite kids here and fairly new kids but it's all about their skill development."
With Woodfall based in Queensland at the South West Metro Pirates and studying medicine at the University of Queensland, the Launceston product attended the clinic via Zoom but left it in capable hands.
The hands of Deans, Flint, Simpson and Anis impressed Veale with their coaching drive.
"That's what it's all about and that's why I feel that the LBA culture is good because those kids do give back, they've given up their time just to help these kids start where they started.
"It's fantastic to learn from them, who have gone all the way through and graduated now from the BTas programs and are playing for Australia, playing for Tassie and NBL1 sides - you can't get better than that.
