Junior League Basketball
FOR BOYS AND GIRLS
AGES 5 AND 6
12312009_41448_0.png
The Reading Recreation Division is extremely excited to add this program to our winter/spring season. The Junior Basketball program will allow boys and girls ages 5*-6 the opportunity to participate in a structured basketball league. Players will fine tune their skills on 7-foot hoops, with junior size basketballs. Each week will include 20 minutes of practice/drills as well as 32 minutes of game play with referees. Teams will be formed randomly by the Recreation Division and will be coached by volunteers. The goal of this program is to work on the basic skills of basketball and transfer them into a structured game. Games will be played 4 vs. 4 with time being distributed equally between all players. Each player will receive a team uniform during the first week.  This program is expected to fill up as it has limited enrollment. Early registration is recommended.

DATES:  Saturdays, January 8th - February 19th
                Games cancelled on 2/5/11 due to snow removal operations at all Reading schools.
