Thanet Council's Sport Matters team will be returning this month (January) with more slam dunking fun.
The first event of the year takes place on Sunday 31 January, between 5pm and 7pm at the Ramsgate Sports Centre. It aims to create an urban and fun atmosphere, with the opportunity to take part in either competitive games or just turn up for fun to show off your free styling skills.
Street Hoops basketball was launched in September 2008 to encourage young people aged 11 and over to try out basketball in a safe, fun environment with urban tunes.
The event, which is supported by Thanet Leisure Force, Ursuline College and the Thanet Rhinos, has been held monthly, and on some occasions, special guests the Streetball Extreme team have also turned up to showcase there skills and tricks.
Colin Rouse from Sport Matters said: "Street Hoops has been a massive success since its launch back in 2008, and we want to make 2010 bigger and better. Basketball is a fun, energetic sport, so not only can you improve your skills and personal development, but it's also a great way to keep fit and healthy."
Street Hoops events take place on the last Sunday of each month with a summer break in June. The next dates are Sunday 31 January, Sunday 28 February, Sunday 28 March, Sunday 25 April and Sunday 30 May.
