On February 9th, 2008 from 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM at the Lawrence Street Recreation Center, 510 Lawrence Street the Marietta Parks and Recreation invites local youth between the ages of 7 and 14 to participate in a free Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Skillls Challenge.
Similar to the Punt, Pass and Kick challenge for youth sponsored buy the NFL his grassroots program provides boys and girls, competing separately, an opportunity to showcase their excellence in the core basketball skills of dribbling, passing and shooting and is intended to encourage youth participation in sports while promoting sportsmanship.
My brother-in-law and husband of Broker Susan McClure is Ray McClure a WNBA referee urges youth to attend this Skills challenge. Anyone between the ages of 7 and 14 may register the day of the event and must bring a copy of their birth certificate and a completed registration/waiver form prior to the start of the competition. Forms are available in Marietta’s Parks, Recreation and Facilities Department, located on the third floor of City Hall, 205 Lawrence Street.
Winners from the local competition will have the opportunity to advance to one of 25 regional competitions across the country. Winners from the regional competitions will advance to the national finals in Orlando, Florida.
