Basketball league set to start in January

Registration is open now through January 6 for YMCA basketball leagues in Versailles.

Kids who participate in youth basketball at the Y are able to develop a variety of skills, from catching and dribbling to teamwork and sportsmanship. Just as important, they learn firsthand the benefits of being healthy and active—and that virtual games just can’t compare to the real thing.

The basketball league will be at the Versailles Branch.

There will be teams for two age groups, ages 4-6 and ages 7-10.

Pre-season for the 7-10 age group is Jan. 7 at 9:00 AM.

(No pre-season for the 4-6 age group.)

Practices are January 14 and 21.

Games are January 28 through March 4.

The league is $25 for Members and $50 for Potential Members. All participants will receive a t-shirt.

Volunteer coaches are crucial to the league’s success. Anyone interested in coaching should come to the meeting for volunteer coaches on January 10, at 6:00 PM in Versailles.
