7 Youth Sports The 2018 Youth basketball registration is ongoing as space allows in each age group. Our youth basketball program starts with the Pee Wee basketball clinic for ages 5-6 boys and girls and is run by members of the Parks and Recreation staff and parent volunteers. This program is designed for kids to learn the basic basketball skills. The clinic runs for 6 weeks, focusing on learning how to dribble, how to shoot, pass and sportsmanship. Once the kids grow in skill ability, we incorporate some scrimmages into the sessions. Our other youth leagues start at age 7. Our age divisions are assigned as 7-8 boys and girls, 9-11 boys and girls and coed. We work hard each year to try to make these divisions and age splits happen. As with all our programs, we sometimes have to combine divisions and genders to form leagues. Ages 7-14 have practice one night a week and a game on Saturday. Preseason Practices begin: January 6-11 Season games begin: January 13 thru March 10, 2018 Pee Wees: Saturdays January 13 thru February 17 at Mendenhall River Community School. All our teams are coached by parent volunteers as this help keep our programs affordable for everyone. The cost of the Pee Wee program is $35 and the basketball league is $65 (includes $10 late fee). If you have questions regarding our basketball program or would like to coach a team this season, please contact Recreation Coordinator III Amanda Lovejoy at You can find additional information and the forms on our website at: 04
