COLORADO SPRINGS — The Summer Olympics in Los Angeles aren't until 2028, but generating excitement for the games has already begun.
Coaches from USA Basketball went to Fremont Elementary School in Colorado Springs Tuesday to promote the sport and teach students some skills.
Tuesday's clinic was also a chance for staff members at Team USA to get to work with kids. They say helping kids learn about the joy of the sport is a big reason why they love working for Team USA.
