SPAR Summer Midnight Basketball gives youth/young adults the opportunity to compete and meet in a supervised safe environment during the summer. Each gym site will be fully staff with SPAR gym supervisors and security provided by Shreveport Police Department. Teams will be "mandated" to attend a thirty (30) minute workshop presentation (2-3 times per week) prior to their scheduled game. Presentations will be held by local agencies/organizations addressing current social issues that hinder today's youth.
