Starting point guard Sue Bird and coach Brian Agler took time away from the WNBA-leading Seattle Storm to host a free youth basketball clinic June 10 at the Ballard Boys and Girls Club.

During the clinic, which was a part of the Junior Storm Basketball Program, Bird and Agler answered questions from club members and led them through a series of basketball drills.

The clinic was open to all King County Boys and Girls Club members, and nearly 50 young basketball players filled the gym to get tips and advice from the professionals.

The Storm are currently in first place in the WNBA with a 9-1 record, and Bird leads the league with 6.7 assists per game.
