New over-40 men’s hoop part of healthy living effort

17 years ago

Thought you were done playing basketball? Wish you could play but without the younger guys beating up on you? Well, don’t hang up your sneakers just yet. Mark Jago and Steve Gray are starting a 40-plus Gentlemen’s Game of Basketball Open Gym night.     In a tandem effort, the Gentlemen’s Game of Basketball will begin Saturday, March 7 at the GHCA gym on School Street in Houlton. The pick-up games will be played Saturday nights with opportunity to stretch and warm-up first. Entrance is at the back gym door.
The gym night is open to men 40-plus. Admission is free. The six-week gym night is much more than a chance for aging and graying men to play basketball. Jago and Gray see the gym night as an opportunity to address a growing health problem in America.
