When Clovis Martin walked into Eubank Elementary to coach seven and eight year olds for the Y Jr. Thunderbirds Basketball team, it was no surprise that he played basketball as a student. He's a tall man who carries himself like a Coach and an athlete. With three boys and an active career at Wells Fargo, he's a busy man. Yet, he finds time to spend Wednesday nights teaching drills, endurance, and the love of basketball to young people. Why the Y? "The kids need it and I enjoy it." Clovis knows personally the confidence that comes with working as a team and learning skills that carry throughout life. Team B-2 recently named themselves "The Lobos," and will begin their game season this weekend. Coach Martin and his Lobos enjoyed the Jamboree at the Santa Ana Star Event Center and really showed some promise out on the court practicing new skills with the Y Sports Staff. "Everything they learn will contribute to their skills as better athletes, and in turn, better developed people."
