Dribble ‘n’ Solo-athon:
Mulroy Hoops Basketball Club and Gaeil Fhánada Bord na nÓg are hosting a 12 Hour sponsored Dribble ‘n’ Solo-athon to take place on Saturday 19th October 2013 in the Rossnakill Resource Centre.
The event will run from 9am to 9pm. We are inviting families involved in either or both these clubs to take part as well as other families who may be interested in joining.
How will the Dribble ‘n’ Solo-athon work?
- From your wider family/friend circle select a group or groups of 12 – to include brothers, sisters, cousins, parents, grandparents, friends or anyone who is happy to give it a go!
- Each group should have a nominated leader – ideally a teenager/adult.
- Each group will be asked to dribble/solo for just 15 minutes.
- To make the event as fun as possible your group can dribble/solo in fancy dress – you could come in pyjamas, onesies, football jerseys, Disney characters or anything you fancy! There are still places available on the Time Table for groups to join in.
Keep on eye on the Fanad Gaels and Mulroy Hoops websites/Facebook pages as well as local press for updates!
We hope that you will get involved, have fun with your friends and family and help raise money for these two community based clubs.
