COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
Finally the NCAA is committed to leaving a legacy for the community hosting Final Four®. Working alongside the Phoenix Local Organizing Committee, the NCAA will host special free youth events, such as the POWERADE NCAA Youth Clinics and the Final Four Dribble fueled by POWERADE.
The NCAA Legacy Restorations project will refurbish an outdoor basketball court at Harmon Park. In addition it annually serves more than 18,000 neighborhood children, many of them underprivileged. Harmon Park, located at 1239 S. Fifth Ave. in Phoenix, is a landmark in Phoenix basketball circles. It has attracted college and pro players looking for top-flight pickup competition and was used as a training facility by the Harlem Globetrotters.
Therefore with organized basketball leagues, the park offers a variety of programs for children, including karate, arts and crafts, volleyball, soccer, kickball, pickleball, homework help and federal meal programs.
