The Hawks clinic at the Snakepit attracted about 120 kids aged six to 14, with 60 children attending the Moss Vale event.
Hawks skipper Oscar Forman and teammates, including Dave Gruber and Larry Davidson, had a great time passing on tips and playing with some of their biggest and youngest fans.
"The numbers were excellent and the kids and the players had a ball," Hawks assistant coach Matt Flinn said.
"The clinics have been a part of the Hawks since the club was founded. I remember attending my first one in 1981."
Junior basketball in the region is growing in popularity with numbers in the Moss Vale Association almost trebling over the past couple of years.
The Hawks will host another clinic at the Snakepit and Moss Vale during the next school holidays.
