Snowman Showdown Today!

The big beautiful 1.5 acre field at Asphalt Green is normally used for all sort of sports . . . when weather permits. But what happens when it snows? Well, they’ve come up with something really good: their first annual Snowman Showdown, which will take place tomorrow afternoon! All ages are welcome and are challenged to build the ultimate snowman. Nature provides the snow, and Asphalt Green will provide hot chocolate, festive music, raffle, and top hats for the first 300 who attend. A group winter warm-up session will begin the event, offering tips to stay safe while exercising in the cold air.

The event will take place today from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m! For more info, visit asphaltgreen.org/snowman.

Basketball City

Beginning June 2024, Basketball City will be running a full weekly schedule of Summer Basketball Camps. We will have our professional staff of coaches teaching your kids weekly. Our camps are designed to teach kids the skills they need to become a better basketball player by using specific drills and fitness work that focus on the fundamentals of the game in a fun, safe and inclusive environment. &nbsp;The camps run weekly varying in time and the number of days for ages 6-17. We have 3-, 4- &amp; 5-day options with times ranging from 9-4pm or 9-3pm. Every camper will receive a jersey once they are registered and arrive. We are limiting the number of camp participants each week to ensure a safe and healthy environment for your children. The limited number of campers will also ensure that your child receives individual attention needed to improve their basketball skills. Our camps in the past typically include current and past NBA players and a collaboration with the Jr. Knicks, the National Basketball Players Association, as well as 5 Star Basketball, and our ever-popular Basketball City FUNdamentals Camp along with our Jr. NBA/NBA Cares NBA Draft/Skills Challenge Camp with future NBA talent.
