Midnight hoops seeks coaches

Volunteer coaches are urgently needed for the Midnight Basketball League. For the past eight years, Hoopfest has partnered with Spokane Public Schools and conducted the Midnight Basketball League. The program is for students in grades 6-8 who attend schools within the district’s central urban neighborhoods.

The first coaches meeting will take place next Thursday, and the league will run from Oct. 23-Nov. 15. One-hour practices will be on Thursdays with games and workshops on Saturdays.

Those interested in serving as volunteer coaches are asked to contact Chad Smith at 624-2414, Ext. 14, or e-mail chad@spokanehoopfest.net.
