FORT MYERS, Fla. - EntSun -- Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman dedicated her charitable foundation's 140th Dream Court, providing children and teens in Fort Myers with opportunities to improve their athletic, social and interpersonal skills.

On June 10, Lieberman joined community leaders and local youth to celebrate the completion of a new basketball court, called a Dream Court, at Park Meadows Community Club, the flagship location for Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County. After a ribbon-cutting event, youth attending the club's Summer Enrichment Camp participated in a one-hour basketball clinic focusing on fundamentals like dribbling, passing, shooting, footwork and defensive positioning.

The Dream Court is high school regulation size, 50-by-84 feet, with two basketball goals. It features a high-performance PowerGame surface from Sport Court in dark blue and steel blue, with the Dream Court logo as its centerpiece and Boys & Girls Clubs logos along the sideline.
