MRPA/Maine Red Claws 2012 Hot Shot Competition


                       


The 2012 Hot Shot Competition is Underway!



Participants in the 2012 Mars Hill Hot Shot Competition

MRPA has teamed up with Maine’s newest professional sports team the Maine Red Claws to offer the Maine State Hot Shot Competition. We appreciate your interest in the Hot Shot Competition which offers young boys and girls the opportunity to participate and benefit from exhibiting their best in the game of basketball. From Fort Kent to Kittery this program gives Maine’s youth a chance to compete against the best across the state while learning valuable lifelong lessons. Many past participants and local coordinators carry fond memories with them from their experiences in the annual Hot Shot Competition. Loretta Martin from Auburn Parks and Recreation had this to say about hosting a Regional Hot Shot Competition; “I enjoyed hosting these events for the last few years!  Its actually not hard, and a lot of fun!” Both the MRPA and the Red Claws are very excited about this new partnership which we hope will bring new incentives and rewards to each participant.

 

I would encourage you to join in on the fun and become a member of this year MRPA/Red Claws Hot Shot Competition. If you have questions or feedback on the program, please contact me at the South Portland Parks & Recreation Department @ 767-7650 or sbest@southportland.org.  I hope you and your community help us in growing and implementing the great sport of basketball into Maine’s Youth.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Sabrina Best

MRPA Hotshot State Coordinator

2010 Hot Shot Report...

 

The statewide youth basketball skills competition sponsored by MRPA and the Maine Red Claws concluded Sunday afternoon March 7th at the Portland Expo.  We extend our congratulations to the boys and girls age bracket winners and runners up and to all those who competed. The scores of all athletes are posted here. The day was a big success and featured an impressive display of basketball skills by all participants.  Those who were able to stay later in the afternoon were treated to a thrilling game between the Maine Red Claws and the Sioux Falls Skyforce, which went to the Skyforce 99-98 on a three-pointer with a half second remaining.  To view photos from yesterday, including several of our winners, click here
