SPS Extra for February, 2023: Successful first season of Hooptown Youth League

February 17, 2023 • Spokane Public Schools • Season 1 • Episode 2

We hit the court in the second episode of SPS Extra! The school district and AAU have combined their efforts with Hoopfest to create the Hooptown Youth League. This is a league where there are three levels: recreational, competitive, and advance competitive for youth participants grades K-6th.

In this episode, Stephanie Splater and Taylor Brooks talk about the importance of youth development when it comes to extracurriculars. Joining Stephanie and Taylor is Hoopfest Executive Director, Riley Stockton, and Gonzaga Strength and Conditioning Coach, Mike Nilsen. They talk about how successful the Hooptown Youth League was this season and where they want to see it go. Roosevelt Elementary hoopers also express how much they enjoyed HYL.
