Get your kids active!
Youth Basketball is a sports staple here at the Rec. It is unarguably the largest youth sports program we offer in terms of players and teams that participate every season. We hold two seasons during the year, Fall and Winter. The Fall season begins toward the end of October and is finished by Christmas. The Winter Season begins toward the end of January and is finished by mid-March.
Every season is a learning experience, and we are always working on improving the basketball program at The REC. Please let us know if you have any suggestions!
