CORE CITY HOOPS BACKGROUND
Core City Hoops is based in Windsor (Ontario, Canada) and has been around since 1988, when Pete Cusumano and his friend, Arvin White, decided to create a basketball club which would give kids from the core part of Windsor an affordable opportunity to play ball within a club, with Rep teams, as well as house leagues and camps.
We are a club which relies very heavily on fundraising and grants, as we charge our kids a nominal fee to be a part of our club. This makes it affordable for everyone, giving each player excellent coaching and mentoring from our valuable volunteer staff. By having everyone help out, we can continue with this goal.
Our travel teams try to keep costs down by only participating in one or two out-of-town tournaments, and by arranging for local tournaments or games. Often we will arrange round robin tournaments within a day's drive (i.e. Sarnia, Chatham, Stratford, London, or Michigan) to allow our kids the opportunity to play first-class basketball but without spending maximum dollars.
Our house leagues are for kids in Grades 1 through to 8, and we hold these at different times of the year. Again, the cost to join this is very nominal, and we teach the basic elemental skills as well as the concept of teamwork and cooperation.

THANK YOU TO KIDSPORT FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT OF CORE CITY HOOPS
KidSport continues to support young athletes in our area, to ensure that no one is left on the sideline watching. Much thanks to Jeremy Renaud and Chuck Smith for their dedication to this cause.
Core City does not say no to any youngster that wants to play and can't because of financial issues. KidSport has allowed us to keep our excellence in programming without having to make compromises. Thank you KidSport!! THANK YOU TO THE CANADIAN TRANSIT CORP.
Core City Hoops is excited to accept sponsorship from the Canadian Transit Corporation. This generous donation is a game changer for our program. It has allowed our teams to expand the number and quality of tournaments that they can participate in.
