NYPD4theKids is organizing a basketball team for a city-wide program: Blue Chips Basketball League. Every precinct creates a team of 12 kids, ages 13-16 to compete against each other every week for 8 weeks. Every Tuesday is a 3 hour practice and a career development workshop with guest speakers. Every Thursday is a game against another precinct's team.
The program is FREE! Teens get their own uniforms and are coached by our very own experienced police officers who know the game inside and out. Practice will be either at Trinity Church or at LREI school on their gym at 145 Thompson street. The department is working on getting a spot at Madison Square Garden for the Play-offs too!
Teens do not have to have experience, just a drive to have fun.
