ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of Jr. NBA Week, the Magic and UnitedHealthcare teamed up to host the Jr. NBA Her Time to Play all-girls youth clinic for 50 Central Florida middle school basketball players, ages 7-14, at Amway Center in the AdventHealth Practice Facility.

The clinic featured Magic Center Khem Birch, Magic Community Ambassadors Nick Anderson and Bo Outlaw, Orlando Magic Director of Basketball Operations Becky Bonner, Magic Assistant Athletic Trainer/Physical Therapist Kristen Crenshaw and Founder of Athletes to Visionaries Morgan Jones.

The afternoon featured a conversation with the girls on purpose, approach and health; stretching and warm-up drills; stationary and advanced dribbling drills; a tour of the weight room and locker room and a group photo.
