Basketball Open Gym

All are welcome!

We’ll be using the first few weeks to gauge interest, determine the varying levels of play, and develop a structure that works for all participants. 

We don't keep score and our goal is work on our game and build community.  We’re here to have fun and create a space that is as much about socializing as it is about basketball! Reach out if you have any questions: bkpridecenterbball@gmail.com
