Valley Hoopz
An annual basketball
tournament sponsored by the SVMIP, with the New Mexico Teen Pregnancy
Coalition and the City of Albuquerque. This event provides outreach and
health education to young people, particularly Hispanic males. Valley
Hoopz is not just another basketball tournament! What is truly unique
about Valley Hoopz is that it combines athletic competition with
educational classes to address many issues that are problematic for
youth. Teams are required to attend one of four classes in order to
compete in the tournament. The classes are violence prevention and anger
management, drugs and alcohol awareness, pregnancy prevention and
relationship & communication issues. Prizes are awarded to participants
during the classes and at the tournament itself.
