"Hoop Fest" Saturday at Binghamton High

If you're looking for a great way for your child to work on basketball skills, the "Hoop Fest" at Binghamton High School's main gym will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, November 7, for players in grades 3 through 8.

The fee is $10. This includes two hours of details skills work in a program run by Dave Springer, Binghamton High School boys varsity head coach.

The $10 fee also includes pizza for the kids, as well as a t-shirt for all attendees.

Hoping you can all fit this session into your busy schedules.

For more information: Call Coach Springer at 762-8248

And thanks again to Coach Springer for taking the time this weekend to work with all three of our travel teams on the "read and react" offensive set-up. We had a very productive early-morning 90-minute practice.
