Night Hoops is a socially themed basketball league for boys and girls 13-17 years of age usually conducted on Friday and Saturday evenings. Volunteer coaches receive special training on how to talk to their players about drugs, alcohol and tobacco in order to convey anti-use messages to the players during the season. All players and coaches sign a sportsmanship and anti-drug pledge and recite the pledge prior to every game. Before or after designated games, players and coaches are required to attend special workshops that address smart decision-making and life skills issues.

Operation Night Hoops was a version of Night Hoops specifically designed for Air Force Youth Centers that is still seasonally conducted at a number of youth centers. While the contract to provide materials and implementation assistance to Air Force Youth Centers has ended, KSN may still be able to provide technical support and some materials to centers that request assistance.
