Playing basketball shooting games together was one of our favorite traditions, and creating this group is my way of carrying that joy forward while building new community. My hope is that this becomes a place where people can laugh, meet new friends, get outside, and make Friday afternoons something to look forward to. I’ll have a basketball 🏀 so just bring yourself. water, comfortable shoes, and a welcoming spirit. Bring a friend if you’d like. Let’s celebrate community, movement, one shot at a time.
