Coconut Hoops is back, bringing college basketball excitement to the charming islands, beaches and neighborhoods of Fort Myers. The games bring the action to FGCU's Alico Arena, but the trip is about more than what happens on the court. You’re in the Fort Myers area, which means beaches, seafood, palm trees, and plenty to do between matchups. Whether you’re playing or cheering from the sidelines, this is the kind of trip that’s as fun off the court as it is on it.
