3rd Year of #AEHoops You Can Play Nights Under Way

America East You Can Play nights are taking place at men's and women's basketball games again this winter, with the purpose of furthering awareness and education to help ensure equality, respect and safety for all athletes without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity..

This is the third year that America East men's and women's basketball progams will host You Can Play Nights, which will take place between January 25 and February 15. Each home team will wear special America East branded You Can Play shooting shirts prior to their You Can Play Night game. Additionally, the nights, which are spearheaded by each campuses Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), will include fan outreach, public address announcements, You Can Play videos and more.

America East became NCAA Division I conference to partner with You Can Play in December of 2012. Since then, the conference has helped further You Can Play’s mission by sponsoring a speaker series and locker-room campaigns on its members' campuses in addition to You Can Play nights and creating videos to educate the general public.
