Basketball with A Heart
Eric Newman, a middle school teacher who has coached his son Harrison's basketball team knew that there had to be a way for his older son Max, who has special needs, to enjoy the same camaraderie, and team spirit that Harry enjoys. "Max had played Special Olympics basketball and loved it, but the season was short and when he changed high schools, the Special Olympics opportunity ended. I knew there was something special about being part of a team and I wanted Max to continue playing a sport he loved" says Newman.
