Garrison youth sports get a hand

Youth sports are a great way to foster teamwork, create a foundation for a healthy lifestyle, and build community spirit. What started as a way to support local travel basketball teams quickly evolved into something bigger. 
Garrison Youth Sports is a grassroots initiative to help provide opportunities for all kids to participate in youth sports.
Brooke Walters and Sasha Dusek co-founded Garrison Youth Sports to communicate about boys’ and girls’ travel basketball teams. 
They were already communicating about sharing gym space, so why not join forces? 
“We thought we could accomplish more by working together,” Dusek said, “and we’ve seen that to be true.”
Dusek is a parent, volunteer coach, and has organized the boys’ basketball efforts.
But this organization is not just about basketball. It’s about creating a space where every child can be involved, regardless of their background or experience.
