ABOUT SUNS NITE HOOPS
Founded in 1995 by Jerry Colangelo and Valley leaders, Suns Nite Hoops was created to provide a positive alternative to drugs, gangs, crime and violence to these young men while teaching life skill development such as discipline and anger management. Basketball is merely the lure to attract them. Nite Hoops was established with the pre-game workshops and case management as its priority. Discipline and security are paramount to Suns Nite Hoops success. The highly competitive nature of the basketball league helps motivate these young men to stay out of trouble and complete the season. Through the sense of accomplishment and responsibility obtained through completion of the program, the participants are less likely to turn to crime and more likely to apply their energy towards positive and fulfilling lifestyle.
