SPORTS + REC Some highlights from the year include:
• In 2024, we listened to our community and expanded the programs they love and offered new opportunities based on their preferences including bringing back our Adult Volleyball League and adding new Youth Flag Football Clinics. • For the third year, we were proud to bring in local legend Sam Thomas (formerly of the UA Wildcats and Phoenix Mercury) to host the Hoop Group Youth Basketball Clinic for 48 young basketball enthusiasts. • In March, in partnership with the Weintraub Israel Center, we welcomed the Israel ParaSport Center’s Hope in Motion Wheelchair Basketball Tour for two matches and a truly inspiring experience for our community. • In July, we partnered with USA Track & Field to offer Run, Jump and Throw, with nearly 50 youth coming to the free event to learn from experts in the field! • We ended the year with largest Hanukkah Hot Cocoa Run we’ve seen in it’s 8-year history, with 304 participants of all ages and more community partners and vendors than ever joining the fun, including a DJ from iHeartRadio thanks to our Corporate Partnership.

“The J is a welcoming environment that has supported our family’s needs for education, supervision, sports and recreation.” – Sally Boeve, J Member
RACQUET SPORTS Some highlights from the year include:
• Our dedicated Racquet Sports community grew with continued interest in Pickleball programming offered for all levels, with some focus on beginners—130 of whom took Pickleball lessons with a Tucson J pro. • Always in effort to forge stronger community partnerships, we began offering tennis programming to Tucson Hebrew Academy students during the school day, which yielded an increase in participation in other Youth Tennis programming.
“I love the tennis instructors and I think they do a great job with the clinics for adults.” – Linda Barrows, J Member
