CLARION, Pa. – Registration has been extended for YMCA Fifth and Sixth Grade basketball for boys and girls.  The program is available to kids in local schools throughout Clarion County.

“We welcome boys and girls who want to learn to become a better basketball player while having fun,” said Jesse Kelley. “This program teaches fundamentals and gives kids some great experience playing all positions.  We extended our deadline this year after learning that some kids would not be able to participate due to an overlap of sports.”

YMCA basketball is a fundamental, participation-based program for boys and girls in fifth and sixth grade. YMCA basketball teaches and reviews fundamentals like dribbling, shooting, passing, and footwork while also teaching sportsmanship and teamwork in a supportive environment where everybody plays and tries new positions.

There are no bench warmers.  All children receive equal playing time. Practices and games will be held at local school districts and coordinated with volunteer coaches. Practices could begin as early as October 22.

Games will be played on Saturdays beginning November 3 and ending December 15. Registration is required by October 20.  All players receive t-shirts. The cost is $25.00 for members and $45.00 for non-members.

Registration forms are available to print at www.clarioncountyymca.org/resources.

Online registration is available at www.clarioncountyymca.org.
