Night Hoops is
a socially themed basketball league for boys and girls 13-17 years
of age usually conducted on Friday and Saturday evenings. Volunteer
coaches receive special training on how to talk to their players
about drugs, alcohol and tobacco in order to convey anti-use
messages to the players during the season. All players and
coaches sign a sportsmanship and anti-drug pledge and recite the
pledge prior to every game. Before or after designated games,
players and coaches are required to attend special workshops that
address smart decision-making and life skills issues.
