Youth Basketball Leagues will be offered for both the beginner and the advanced. Beginner programs will be an introduction to the fundamentals of basketball, including dribbling, passing and shooting. Skills are introduced and practiced through a games approach. There will be a focus of attention on the good sportsmanship of the players, parents and fans as well as on the basic sports skills. Youth leagues for skilled basketball players will also be offered.   League rules and character building principals will be patterned after the "Upward Basketball" program. The brochure and registration forms will be on-line mid-July.

The "Faith Community Youth Basketball" programs for 4th through 6th graders are scheduled to begin in late October or early November 2008.
