ARLINGTON – The UT Arlington men's and women's basketball teams continued a long tradition of Maverick student-athletes and staff giving back to the community as the programs put on their third-annual Hoops for Troops clinic presented by TD Ameritrade this past Saturday at the College Park Center.
Â
Mavs' players, coaches and staff conducted the clinic, which featured more than 50 elementary school-aged children from area military families. Participants took part in a variety of activities designed to teach the game of basketball and create an environment of fun and entertainment. The event concluded with an autograph signing session by both teams.
Â
The event was organized and sponsored by TD Ameritrade, a corporate partner of UTA Athletics, and Maverick Sports Properties. Each attendee received a specially-designed t-shirt, a UTA-branded basketball and tickets to the men's and women's military appreciation games (sponsored by TD Ameritrade) during the 2019-20 season.
