One hundred gyms across New York City are opening today to give young New
Yorkers more places to play safely.
The $5 million Saturday Night Lights program is giving children the opportunity
to participate in sports programs over the weekend.
The program is part of the Fiscal Year 2022 Recovery Budget and guarantees that
no indoor gyms will be closed on Saturday nights.
Volleyball, basketball and martial arts are just
some of sports being offered to the children.
The NYPD Department of Youth and Community
Development, the city’s district attorney and several other organizations are
partnering to make it all possible.
The gyms will be open every Saturday from 5 p.m.
to 9 p.m.
