Registration open for summer youth basketball 

Registration closes June 3

–The City of Atascadero has announced open registration for their annual summer basketball league. The coed summer league is for boys and girls in a non-competitive setting and is open to kindergarteners through 12th graders and for any skill level.

The program stresses the importance of individual skill development, teamwork, positive attitudes, and most of all fun! The league will start Monday, June 13 with two weeks of skills/practices where players will have the opportunity to work with and learn from experienced players and coaches. After the skills/practice weeks, the players will have games twice a week. This will give the inexperienced players the opportunity to learn the structure of gameplay while the more experienced players get to continue improving their skills in actual gameplay. For the younger players, we will take the time to break it down for them with all staff working together to be sure the players are building up a good understanding of the rules and structure of gameplay.

This program will run from June 13t through July 28. Times will be based on the availability of volunteer coaches and practice space. Schedules will be set for either Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday with the possibility of a game on Fridays. Volunteer Coaches and Sponsors are needed for this program. Registration ends on June 3.
