PAL along with Grow Our Game, National Sports Zone and PSA 5 officers spent Saturday, May 21 at the Harlem Center for an afternoon of basketball drills and teamwork for girls 6-14 years old. The day began with a series of defense, lay-up, rebounding, speed and passing drills (plus a few water breaks).
Lunchtime offered a much needed break for the players and gave them a chance to meet their fellow ballers and learn more about each other. They also received a pair of sneakers and a gift bag filled with much needed items for their future careers as scholar-athletes.
This day ended with a fun series of “dribbling” relay races and a free throw competition! The young women not only walked away as better basketball players but also filled with confidence to take on whatever comes their way.
