Questions? Please contact Program Director Suzie James. We CAN ALWAYS use more volunteers to help make this program a success. This is a recreational program designed to teach kids the very basics of basketball and teamwork as well as foster an enjoyment of the game— so extensive basketball knowledge is not required in order to lend a hand. Even if you might just be able to help occasionally, we would be tremendously appreciative!
