Free basketball "mini-camps" are coming to McKeesport, Homestead, West Mifflin, Wilmerding and eight other communities again this summer.

The "Hometown Hoops" program for ages 9 to 18 is offered by the Allegheny County Parks Department. The program kicked off Monday in Clairton.

A spokesperson said all events run from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and will include a free box lunch for participants, provided through the county's Summer Food Program. Participants should wear proper basketball attire.

The events are free and participants may attend as often as they like, but to make sure that everyone receives a lunch, parents or guardians should register their child or teen-ager in advance by calling (412) 350-2455 at least 24 hours in advance, or by going to www.alleghenycounty.us/hometownhoops.
