Irish NBA star pays a visit to this Tipperary school

We were delighted to host Hoops Life USA Elite Summer programme recently with so many phenomenal young athletes taking part supported by amongst others, the only Irish player to play in the NBA, Pat Burke - a great few days took place as the boys looked forward to the new academic year.

Thanks to Niall Berry for his great work with the group and with the school.

The boys in school were really taken with Pat and hearing his journey from Tullamore to the NBA with Orlando Magic and the Phoenix Suns.

What a story and inspiration to all our young men.
