Our Rip City Hoops Youth Basketball Program is dedicated to providing a safe and fun environment where youth can learn the game of basketball within a respectful and supportive setting.

During our Rip City Hoops clinics we focus on teaching the fundamentals of basketball, competing in fun skill games, and always concluding with a trivia session where kids have the opportunity to win Nike and Trail Blazers gear.

For this event with Special Olympics, we could not be more excited to spend time with your athlete learning the fundamentals of basketball and practicing those skills! With that being said, we have some specific instructions for this event, so please read closely:

This session is reserved for athletes age 16-21.

Although we would love to have everyone in attendance to support their athletes, we are limited for space at this clinic, so each athlete is only permitted one adult parent/guardian to chaperone them to this event. No exceptions.

Athletes should plan to wear athletic gear and shoes to this event. Water will be provided, but personal water bottles are encouraged.

This event is open to athletes and partners to register, please select either partner or athlete during registration.

Unified Sports is an inclusive sports program that unites Special Olympics athletes (individuals with intellectual disabilities) and partners (individuals without intellectual disabilities) as teammates for training and competition.
