UPDATE:  Due to lack of registrants, the youth age divisions for the 3-on-3 tournament have been canceled BUT we've created a skills competition in it's place!
The skills competition is free for youth (however a $5 donation is appreciated).  For more information on the competition click here.  Due to limited space in each grade division, pre-registration for the youth skills competition is required.  Click here to register for the skills competition.  

Kevin Proch was a long-time member of the Parks & Rec Family serving as a Pool Supervisor and Youth Center staff member, while also working full time for the NT Schools.  Kevin was a great supporter and friend to the youth of our community.  Sadly Kevin passed unexpectedly in 2022.

Friends and family of Kevin Proch ask you to join us for a fun opportunity to support a great cause.  All proceeds benefit the Kevin Proch Memorial Scholarship (awarding a scholarship to one NTHS Senior in 2023).
