March Magic Hoopfest

After a very successful first year, the March Magic Hoopfest will return to the Jenison Field House to offer hands-on hoops fun for attendees of all ages. The added bonus for 2010 is that the family friendly event is now set for two weekends.

Held in conjunction with the MHSAA Boys and Girls State basketball tournaments at the Breslin Center, the 2010 March Magic Hoopfest will be open on March 18-20 during the girls tournament and March 25-27 for the boys tournament. The event is free to 2010 MHSAA tournament ticket holders and for all others admission is just two dollars.

Along with taking part in numerous basketball activities and skill-stations, attendees can stroll the Hall of History, showcasing championship games, life-size photos and display boards of ages past. See the following page for a complete list of activities.

Also on tap is a basketball clinic that will take place for junior high/middle school students, conducted by the legendary basketball coaches from around the state of Michigan.

The March Magic Hoopfest is a result of a partnership between the Greater Lansing Sports Authority, a division of the Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau; and the Michigan High School Athletic Association, with vital support coming from Michigan State University.

Proud sponsors of the event include: Farm Bureau Insurance, Michigan State University, Greater Lansing Sports Authority, Dean Trailways & Transportation, WILX TV-10, Citadel Broadcasting, Traction, Art Craft Display, U.S. Army, Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan, Greater Lansing Convention & Visitors Bureau, Rawlings and the Breslin Student Events Center.
