Youth Basketball League
Grades 3-8
Our basketball program features skill instruction, fundamentals of basketball, good 3222006_84054_4.jpgsportsmanship, and teamwork. Our coaches are parent volunteers. What makes our program so special is that our teams only average 7-9 players per team allowing the children to get lots of “touches” on the basketball. Each player on a team plays the same amount regardless of ability. We believe that through playing, kids develop skills, confidence and teamwork. Join our program regardless of your child’s ability!  Each week will include one practice and a game on Saturday at a different time each week.  



Special registration forms will be distributed through the elementary school around September 18th and will also be available outside the Park & Recreation Department or at www.townofreddingct.org.  We can not send forms home with JRMS students.

Not attending the ratings clinic makes it difficult to make fair teams...all participants are expected to be there. We encourage participants to register early to save money and allow us to find enough volunteer coaches and sponsors to support the leagues.
 
All ratings are held at the RCC gym

3222006_90345_0.pngThe leagues success always depends on the commitment of volunteer coaches.  If you like to work with kids or have the willingness to learn how to, we will teach you.  Come be a positive influence on a child’s development!  Anyone who is interested in coaching should contact the Park & Recreation office no later than October 13. We will send a letter or call you by October 25th.  There will be a mandatory pre-season coach’s clinic on a day TBA.  Our goal again this season is to include the coaches in the team selections.  In order to do this, it is important that coaches attend the ratings clinics and the team making session immediately following.
