The Gym is Open This Weekend
For the past few months we’ve been telling you about Converse’s Open Gym Movement – a program where players of all ages can show up at certain gyms on designated dates and just play ball all day long. We were at the first Open Gym in Miami in November (complete with Dwyane Wade), there was one in Philly last month (where Kyle Korver was running the show), a huge one in Chicago in mid-December that saw Kirk Hinrich hanging out with the kids and two-day long OG in New Orleans last weekend.
There are Open Gym events going in various cities this weekend. Here’s what you need to know:
Miami – 2/23 South Miami Community Center
5800 SW 66th St.
South Miami, FL 3143
Chicago – 2/24
Attack Center
2641 West Harrison St
Chicago, IL 60612
Philly – 2/24 Girard College

If you’ve already registered and attended a prior Open Gym event, no additional forms are needed, just bring your membership card and jersey.
