COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Young basketball fans are invited to
join the Hoop Troop, the official kids club to follow Tennessee
Tech Basketball. Now in its fourth year, the Hoop Troop is a youth
group for young fans ages 3 through 18, to cheer for the Golden
Eagle men’s and women’s teams as they bid for Ohio
Valley Conference championships this winter in Eblen Center.
“We have a lot of young fans who come to our basketball
games, and the Hoop Troop has become a very popular way to follow
the Golden Eagle teams. The Hoop Troop helps to make supporting our
teams something special for these young fans, and it's really a
great deal,” said Mark Wilson, TTU Director of Athletics.
“The goal of the Hoop Troop is to help the next generation of Golden Eagle fans to connect with and learn more about some of their favorite players and teams, while also taking in the values and traditions that Tennessee Tech tries to reflect in all we do,” Wilson said.
The Hoop Troop is an interactive fan club designed exclusively
for young Tennessee Tech basketball fans. Members of the Hoop Troop
receive an official membership card and lanyard and are admitted
into every regular season home game during the year. In addition,
members receive several unique rewards such as a specially designed
Hoop Troop T-shirt and player trading cards.
Hoop Troop members who wear their shirt to Eblen Center will
receive promotional items at selected games. They will have the
chance to participate in in-game activities, and to be selected as
the Hoop Troop “Tip-Off Kid” to present the game ball
to the officials. Members will have the opportunity to meet the
coaches and players, and receive a free Golden Eagle basketball
poster.
Each member who signs up before Nov. 21 will receive a free ticket
to the Tennessee Tech football game against Austin Peay on
Saturday, Nov. 23.
The cost of a one-year membership is $25. Membership may be purchased at the Athletics Ticket Office in Eblen Center or by calling (931) 372-3940.
