A big thank you to the children that submitted Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA S.T.A.R. Essays (Sportsmanship, Teamwork, a Positive Attitude, and Respect). This has been and continues to be a great opportunity to use a "non-sports" activity to help teach life's lessons. As a proud member of the Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA, Garden City Basketball is greatly encouraged to see that our participants are demonstrating the values and character of what it means to be a part of NBA Cares. Our participants are focused on fun and development with no tension and no pressure. This is making Garden City Basketball a great program. There are three more intramural sessions left. We look forward to watching our participants continue to simply have a good time.
