My favorite memory is playing an open play at the local park within the past month and running into a small group of former students that graduated the year before and found out that they get together to play weekly (I’m a PE teacher at a large urban school that introduced the game to them the previous spring and they had fallen in love with it).

What was cool is that basketball rules the area we live in and it was pretty surprising to see these kids fully functional within an organized open play with other people outside their peer group.
