Join MCC Youth Activities Facilitator Sidi Quran Hodge for weekly Friday evening basketball & halaqa sessions for teen high school boys from 9th through 12th grade.
These sessions aim to craft our next generation of confident, faithful Muslim men. These halaqas are for only teens ages 14-18—no younger boys. The sessions are capped at 30 teens. Once limited spots are full, please join the waitlist.
Pizza is included each week. The first hour is physical activities in the gym (basketball, flag football, or soccer), and the latter hour is a teen halaqa with Sidi Quran.
7 p.m. to 9 p.m. | Fridays | Sep. 20, 2024 to May 23, 2025 (with a break in Ramadan ‘25) | $400/person | Register at mcceastbay.org/boys
