It all come together for Bayley

ASPIRING basketball star Bayley Simons had the opportunity to shoot some hoops with Australian basketball hero and Mac Pack ambassador Andrew Bogut at the Mac Pack Basketball Super Clinic.
The 12-year-old, from Pakenham, was one of 500 lucky children to win a place at this year’s clinic and hit the court at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC) on Sunday 6 July.
During the clinic Bayley had the chance to perfect his shooting, passing and dribbling skills with guidance from Australia’s own NBA star and a host of other NBL and WNBL players.
Bogut recently returned from the United States where his team the Golden State Warriors played in the NBA playoffs. He said it was great to be back in Australia in time for the clinic to share his experience and expertise with the kids.
“It’s always fun at the Mac Pack Super Clinic where the next generation of budding basketball stars take to the court and enjoy themselves,” Bogut said.
“Basketball has been a big part of my life since I was young – I developed a lot of great skills and good habits at a junior level – it was great to share these tips and skills with the kids at the clinic.”
McDonald’s Pakenham licensee, Denise Nabb said the Mac Pack Basketball Super Clinic is a part of McDonald’s commitment to supporting junior sport.
“The clinic is a great opportunity for kids to meet and learn from one of the biggest names in Australian basketball, Andrew Bogut.
“We’re hopeful that the experience will inspire kids to be active and get involved in local sport,” Nabb said.
