Basketball Practice Schedule Changes
|
|
|
Some changes to practice schedule this weekend for parents of registered youth for basketball practice:
1.) Rematch: Because many players will be attending MYNA we will schedule this scrimmage for another day. So there will be
NO Junior A versus Senior JV scrimmage this weekend.
2.) The following teams
WILL have practice on Saturday: Senior Girls, Peewee Boys on the OUTSIDE COURTS. So Junior Girls, Junior Boys, and Peewee Girls will NOT practice on Saturday.
3.) Senior Boys Varsity and JV
WILL practice as scheduled on Sunday.
Please feel free to email Faris Ghani ([email protected]) if you need further clarification.

In The News
|
|
|
 Every community has a narra
tive. Either that community controls the narrative or the narrative cont
rols the community. Now more than ever the American Muslim community has to take control of the narrative. This can only be achieved if as a community we are building bridges and inroads with media. Media outlets want to cover stories and do pieces that people are interested in. They want viewers, readers, comments, and discussions. It is critical that as a community we are more visible and more vocal in the media.
We have been blessed for wide and positive coverage of the Center. When there is positive coverage we must all give feedback and acknowledge and appreciate the work of the media. Please take a few minutes to review the media links and give positive feedback where you feel comfortable.
