COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin announced an expansion of the Back to School Drills and Skills clinic Thursday. It's a program he started last year for kids in the community.
Benjamin says the initiative will now include tennis, as well as basketball.
The mayor says athletics are a positive force for kids, and expects bigger and better things this year.
"We're just excited about helping this community make the move from a good community to a great community," Benjamin explains. "We'll never do that if our people aren't healthy, and we're going to start with our kids."
The week-long Drills and Skills clinic runs from August 8 through August 13. You have until July 29 to register.
