Even Pennsylvania has picked up the Tornado Alley name. Tornado Alley Hoops is actually a basketball organization for inner city children.
Mr. Porter constantly encourages the youngsters to work hard so that they might someday play for McCaskey or whatever school they attend.

Frequent 3-point shot contests are held.
One-on-one competitions bring the best out of all the kids.
Foul shooting contests are a regular activity.
Winners can go home with a Trophy, a "Tornado Alley" T-Shirt or a new basketball.
Winners photos are displayed on the playing fence and on the tornadoalleyhoops.com website.
Many neighbors frequently contribute cases of soda and similar treats for the players.
Local high school star players stop by and give the kids tips and plenty of encouragement. They also show the children how it’s down by slam dunking and making difficult shots with ease.
Well-known college players have also stopped by and provided mini-tutorials for the up-and-coming stars.
