2008-2009 BASKETBALL - Hawthorne Gym
in Newton
Saturday basketball began on September
27.
Games will be held on Wednesday October
22, Oct. 29 & Nov. 5, and
s tarting Nov. 11, the weekday game will switch to Tuesdays.
Play begins when the opens at 8am, and ends @ 10:30am.
The price is $3 per session. There is a $15 registration
fee (good for play on weekdays and/or Saturdays). John
has the registration forms.
The game we play is four on four, full-court. Everyone
brings a white and a very dark T-shirt, and we divide
into teams at random.
This is fairly serious basketball. Most guys played organized
basketball in high school, a few in college and some have
been playing regularly for many years. There are players
of quite average skills who work at it and have become
much better after a season or two.
The game is open to anyone 55 and over. (We’ll
take a few younger players whose skills are modest.) About
80% of players also play in EMASS senior softball.
Directions to Hawthorn gym - The gym is on the
right side, about 50 yards from the intersection of Rt
16 (Watertown St.) and Hawthorn St.
