I’m reminding readers that Southborough Recreation and the Southborough Police Department are offering free fun and “community connection” with kids in grades 5 to 8. The events will use “Hoops” to draw kids in.
It’s too late to sign up for tonight’s session, but there are still upcoming opportunities over the next few weeks.
The announcements posted on Facebook promoted:
Join us on Friday nights in January for an evening of basketball, fun, and community connection. . .
This is a great opportunity to learn more about your community’s police department, make new connections, and get in some extra reps on the court.
The co-ed events are split by grades 5–6 and 7–8, with two nights for each group. The event page invites players to sign up for one or both.
Prior to shooting hoops, the kids will meet with “police officers and command staff for a brief Q&A session” at the Public Safety Building. Afterwards, they’ll walk over to Woodward School’s gym for open play and “friendly pickup games”.
Registration is required. The Winter Hoops program will be held 7:00 – 9:00 pm on the following Fridays:
Grades 5–6: January 9 & January 23
Grades 7–8: January 16 & January 30
