The Spokane Hoopfest Association and City of Spokane Parks & Recreation are partnering to present the City's first Hooptown USA Outdoor League this spring, under Phase 2 guidelines. Registration opens online Saturday, February 20, 2021 at 8 A.M.

"We want to see athletes of all ages outside and playing basketball," said Matt Santangelo, executive director, Spokane Hoopfest Association. "There is a strong desire to get back outside and be active, and we can do it safely under the current guidelines. We have a fantastic park system, a great partnership with Spokane Parks & Rec, and we are excited at the possibilities now and in future years."

The Hooptown USA Outdoor League will begin Saturday, March 13 and run for eight weeks utilizing outdoor, centrally located Hoopfest Community Courts in Spokane parks.

"We love that our parks and courts will be activated with this safe, healthy recreation activity under Phase 2," said Garrett Jones, director of Parks & Recreation, City of Spokane. "It was important for us to come together with our longstanding partners at Hoopfest to find creative ways to offer healthy activities for our community while building on the popularity of parks and open spaces in 2020."
