BRIEFS: Warriors basketball clinic, hiking and polo

The Warriors Perimeter Skills Basketball Clinic is back for a second year at Christopher High in Gilroy.
The one-day camp for boys and girls ages seven to 15 is slated for Oct. 21 from noon to 4:30 p.m. Led by experienced instructors, the clinic is designed to assist campers in building their foundation in regard to perimeter skills.
Each camper will receive a Warriors Camp jersey, headband, a certificate and two tickets to a 2012-13 Golden State Warriors game. Cost is $90. Registration is available at warriors.com.
o The first Garlic Cup Polo Tournament is this Saturday and Sunday at the new South Bay Polo establishment at 1290 Masten Ave. Polo players from across California, and local ones too, will participate in the two-day tournament that is free for spectators. Action begins at 10:30 a.m.
o Outdoors columnist Ron Erskine will be giving a class through Gavilan Community Education and on Oct. 27 will lead a small group into the Bell Station entrance of Henry Coe State Park off of Highway 152 (Pacheco Pass). In a park that is 87,000 acres (136 square miles), this region is at least two days walk from any entrance regularly open to visitors. It is an exciting opportunity to for an intimate visit into the deep recesses of the park and learn about the park’s natural and human history. The group will assemble at Bell Station on Highway 152 and carpool well past the Dowdy Ranch. From there, the day hike will consist of five to eight miles over rolling terrain further into the park. Fall is great in Coe Park and this portion of Coe Park is beautiful. To sign up, go to: http://www.gavilance.com, then go to “courses,” and under “Leisure,” click “Outdoors.” Email Erskine at
