Culture Connect Featured Event

On September 13, 2008, Living Word Ministries (West Haven, CT) will once again invite the youth from the entire state of Connecticut to compete in the Hoops 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament. The event is an effort to provide a fun, safe, competitive basketball tournament that will challenge kids to live above the rim! Our guest speaker is James Jones, Yale University's Men's Varsity Basketball Coach. Boys and girls ages (8-11) - (12-14) - (15-19) are welcome to participate. All players will receive a HOOPS T-shirt and gift bag. First and second place teams will receive a prize too! The entrance fee is $10 for each player, and a team may have up to four players. If your team comes in First Place each player will receive up to $50 in gifts. There will be a 3-point shooting contest, a skills contest for all levels. Offical NBA gear that was donated by the leauge will be awarded to other winners. The last day to pre-register is Friday, September 5. Game day registration is $15 per player, if space is still available.
