Patrick Brannigan of Nothing but Net, Limited, worked on behalf of the AAU, along with Duane Ashley , CitiParks Director, and Curtis Cureton , Director of Y.E.S., to form the alliance. It's a perfect opportunity for our inner city kids to travel and see so me sights, meet some people, and we hope, earn some college scholarships in basketball. Y.E.S. serves more than 2,500 local kids in league play, at locations throughout the area, including Mellon Park in the East End, Allderdice High School and the Market House in Squirrel Hill, the West Penn Recreation Center in Bloomfield, the Ammon Recreation Center in the Hill District, and at the Ormsby Recreation Center on Pittsburgh's South Side.
Kids have access to the leagues, which feed into tournament play.
