Basketball has been a huge part of my life. I'm always trying to find some way to incorporate basketball somewhere in my future long term plans. Community projects, tournament creation, coaching. SOMETHING.

If not, then I'll just be one of the few girls playing park ball forever.

Every now and then I would get text messages from my good friend who had been working with street ball legend and sneaker guru Bobbito Garcia about the projects they were working on and how they were going around playing ball at every court in New York. A project in particular is a documentary called "Doin It In The Park". Chronicling basketball players all around New York who treat and play the sport as if it were a religion and the park, their church. Sadness ensued as I felt I'd never be a part of something so big and inspiring.

Long story short, I am now involved in this wonderful project here in Miami in a small but personally significant way.

Open runs are being set up by Bobbito himself in New York and Miami runs will be organized by yours truly. We'll also be filming small clips of these open runs and posting them on the "Doin It In The Park" Facebook page!

The film is set to debut in 2012 so make sure to keep an eye out!

Check "Doin It In The Park" on Facebook and Twitter for open run alerts!

The "Doin It In The Park" website is currently under construction.

So keep with us and this wonderful project!

Stay live.
