National
Rugby League Star Justin Hodges is set to make a guest appearance at the Hoop Dreaming Basketball BlitZ this
Friday night, when he lines up with TEAM HOOP DREAMING.
Hodges, who is an Ambassador for the Hoop Dreaming Project, is excited about his return to Cairns. “It’s shaping up to be a great night. Events like this are great for the community and I am happy to be involved,” Hodges said.
The Hoop Dreaming Basketball Blitz is a free community event hosted by Cairns Basketball as part of the Hoop Dreaming Project.
Hoop Dreaming Project Director Joel Khalu said, “It’s great to have Justin on board. He’s been a great supporter of our program and is a terrific role-model for our young people to look up too. His presence alone will make this a positive event to remember.”
Australian Opals player Rohanee Cox who is currently on tour with the team in Italy will also make a guest appearance on the night.
