More than 150 local children from all over the North West descended upon the Aura Leisure Centre in Letterkenny to take part in an “Urban Hoops” blitz this week.
It was a day filled to with basketball and fun activities for all of the children that took part in the u12 leagues this season.
The day was led by coaches from the local clubs and the American Victory Scholars who are students at LYIT under the Sport Changes Life Programme.
On the day the league champions were presented with their trophies with Sligo All-Stars picking up the u12 boys’ trophy and Ballyshannon getting their hands on the u12 Girls league trophy.
The focus of the day was having fun and making new friends as teams who had been competing hard against each other in the North West league all season were brought together to play in the one-day event with lots of fun games thrown in also.
New friendships were made and there was some serious skill on show from the starts of the future.
Special mention to Sligo All-Stars Cian Brooks who picked up an award on the day for his overall spirit and hard work.
