The Project Keen Hoopsters a group of energetic senior basketball players from Model Cities Wellness Center and Project Keen (at Fort Davis Recreation Center) are seeking new members to play in the Senior Olympics National game in San Francisco, CA in August 2009.
 
The current group is comprised of individuals ranging in age from 55 to 80 years old.  Many of the members are medal winners after competing in D.C.’s Golden Olympics held May 6, 2008 at Emery Recreation Center.  On June 11, 2008 at the Annual Senior Picnic the players demonstrated their skills to Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton.
 
They practice four times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) from 1-2 pm at Turkey Thicket Recreation Center (1100 Michigan Avenue N.E.).  The members are coached by Herbert Starks and Bernice Oden.
 
If you have prior basketball experience, have a willingness or desire to play, or want to begin an active healthy lifestyle, please contact Juanita Conley at Jayce1148@hotmail.com or Herbert Starks at 202/576-9238 (Turkey Thicket Recreation Center) for more information.
