HOLIDAY HOOPS for HOPE!

2019 Holiday HOOPS for HOPE Is a FREE Basketball Camp for kids in the Tacoma community to bring them a little Holiday Cheer. For entrance to the camp kids will bring a donated new or old gift to be donated to the homeless kids at the Salvation Army. The kids will do drills and skills for an hour, then we will break to our Life Skills Groups. The kids will be able to select a group with local speakers to choose from. We have former professional athletes, business owners, mental health therapists, former gang members/prisoners, financial advisors, and others will teach the kids life skills. After our group sessions we will go back into the second half of the camp and finish with more skills and drills.
