A great honor for former longtime Kings Park teacher, coach and athletic director, Arthur Snelders, who had the basketball court named in his honor this week!

Snelders worked at Kings Park from 1956 to 1986 and spent the last 10 years of his career as the district’s athletic director.

He coached a number of varsity sports, including boys basketball and boys soccer, winning more than 300 contests and a number of league championships.
