Open to all ages/athletes interested in learning about the game. Then at 1pm Trojan Players will begin the shootathon (similar to a walkathon, where you commit to donating a certain amount per made basket), where all athletes will shoot 200 shots. Athletes are currently looking for donors, so if you are interested in supporting please reach out and we will connect you with a Trojan athlete. Then at 7pm there will be a Blue/White Scrimmage with the Women's Team playing the first half, and Men's team to finish in the 2nd half. Following the scrimmage the teams would like to invite community members to join in the competition with a 3pt contest and Knockout contest, with $5 entry.
