Monticello — A new program will be starting on Tuesday, January 19 and running through the month of February, according to Wayne County Judge-Executive Greg Rankin. Super Tuesday Hoops will give local people the opportunity to play pick-up basketball on Tuesday nights at the Aspire Center.
The gym will be open from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. for students in grades 7-12. Release forms and parent signatures for minors will be available on Tuesday evenings, while adult open play will also be available from 7-8:30 p.m. weekly.
"We want to offer our citizens a safe place to recreate and this program is one of several that we'll continue to support that offers that. Last year we had excellent response, with good participation, so hopefully that will be the case again. I appreciate the staff at the Aspire Center for their continued support and cooperation," said Rankin.
All participants will be required to sign a waiver, sign-in and agree to a very basic set of rules.
"Basketball is very popular and gym space is always a concern, so we like being able to offer this free of charge. Any recreational opportunity we can support through our winter months is a plus," said Rankin.
