Saskatoon basketball courts are getting a refresh this summer.
The Saskatchewan Rattlers kicked off the Rim Revamp Project by replacing the nets on basketball hoops with fresh twine in Holiday Park on Monday.
We kicked off the Rim Revamp Project with help from Chief Mark Arcand, @charlieclarkyxe, @DAndreWay, and @ATsegakele!
Do you have a court that needs the mesh replaced?

“We wanted to run a project that had both meaning and longevity for the community” said Rattlers vice president, Brad Kraft in a release.
“By adding new mesh to the hoop, it brings life back to the court and allows our next generation a space to play and grow their skills, no matter their background.”
New nets will be installed across the city this summer by players, staff, volunteers, and key members of the community.
People can add their neighbourhood to the list by visiting the Rattler’s website.
