ATHLETIC LEAGUE
 Established in Brooklyn over 30 years ago, the Brooklyn/Staten
Island Athletic League now meets for three hours, twice a week,
in a clean, well-lit indoor gymnasium at PS 8 in the Staten Island
neighborhood of Great Kills. Consisting primarily of former high
school, college, and playground basketball players, all of whom
are over the age of 30, it offers members a high caliber of play in
a competitive environment. The style of play in the league is
notable for its members’ adherence to the basic fundamentals of
the game, such as setting picks and boxing out.
