Youth basketball leagues registration nearing deadline
(Lawrence, Kan.) – Kids learn to shoot and score with Lawrence Parks and Recreation’s recreational youth basketball program, which individuals may register for through Thursday, Sept. 13.
The youth basketball recreational program is open to both boys and girls, kindergarten through 6th grade. The program provides an opportunity for children to play basketball in an organized setting, which is competitive, yet recreational. The emphasis will not only be on teaching basic skills and fundamentals, but also teaching fair play, teamwork and sportsmanship. The cost is $40 for children in kindergarten through 4th grade and $50 for children in 5th and 6th grades. A late fee of $15 will be assessed for registrations received after the deadline.
Teams will be formed by current grade level and school each child attends. The season begins Saturday, Nov. 3 and runs through Saturday, Dec. 15. Practices will begin in late October with one-hour practices determined by the coach.
