Hey parents, the NYS Parks Department is once again hosting a basketball program at the outdoor courts on 48th Avenue this April – June for girls currently in grades 5 – 9. Called ‘Queens Rules’ the basic idea behind this program is to get girls comfortable with going to the outdoor courts and playing pickup basketball, while simultaneously creating a universe of girls comfortable with doing so to help reinforce the impetus to get out there.
It will be held every Tuesday & Friday from 4pm to 5:15pm beginning April 26 and running through June 21, for a total of 17 sessions weather-permitting. The cost is only $80, and given the concept – pick-up basketball w/ a little guidance – it is not necessary for participants to be available for all the sessions, or even half the sessions – it’s there if they can make it.
