Roosevelt Island Community Outreach Basketball Game Between Public Safety Department & Youth Center A Great Success!
Basketball Game Between Roosevelt Island's Public Safety Department and Youth CenterI watched a pretty good game of full court basketball last night between the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department and Youth Center at the Blackwell Courts. The game was part of Roosevelt Island Connect, a Community Outreach Initiative between the Public Safety Department and Youth Center.
The Public Safety Team was in blue and Youth Center in yellow. The game was well played with some great shots, drives to the basket and tough picks.

The Youth Center team came out victorious with a 62-60 win over the Public Safety Department. Many folks in attendance commented on what a great game it was. But, more important were the new relationships that have been forged by this event. The players from both teams went back to the Youth Center afterwards and talked over Pizza and Refreshments. Kudos to Charlie DelFino and Coach Steve Morgan for their involvement in the festivities.
After The Game Handshakes Between TeamsThis was a great idea and I hope it continues with similar events.
Good job by all involved!

What a great game indeed.... and, a great idea to foster positive relationships between the Public Safety Department and the Youth in the Community. We knew the Youth Center team would be good, but the PSD team was actually better than everyone thought they'd be. Some sitting next to me even noted that the Chief "got game".
Nice job by all involved.
We definitely have talent here on Roosevelt Island. Both teams made precise passes and scored with ease but I especially liked how both teams displayed good sportsmanship. Excellent event!
What a great event, with music and everything. I especially liked the little boy and girl who came in the game and scored. Good going to all who had something to do with this.
Looking forward to the next one.
