North Andover Crusaders Offering Pre-Season Training

The training for this Special Olympics basketball team starts this week.

The North Andover Crusaders Special Olympics basketball team is offering pre-season conditioning for aspiring participants.

Local fitness expert and trainer Sherri Sarrouf -- who warmed up athletes for the Special Olympics Track and Field event in town this past spring -- will train athletes in the gym on Thursday afternoons from 4 to 4:45 p.m.

The first session will be this Thursday, Oct. 13, and sessions will continue each Thursday through Nov. 3, which is the first day of basketball practice.
