Your favorite summer basketball program is here again! This season we have co-ed and girls team sign-up available. Open to youth age 7-17 (as of June 1, 2011). REGISTRATION IS LIMITED! The registration fee is $65 (or $50 if you register by May 14). The registration deadline is May 21. Save $15 if you register by May 14. Late registrations will only be accepted at the Department of Community Services located in Port Tobacco.

Community Services youth leagues are intended to provide a positive social experience for young boys and girls with emphasis on good sportsmanship, fun, and exercise. Teams are based on area, age, height, and experience. Players and coaches receive a team T-shirt. Practices will be held the week of June 27. The two-game-per-week season runs July 5–August 5. Games are played at various locations, and this league is Countywide.

Don’t forget, we also offer an opportunity to earn a refund. If you volunteer to coach, you will receive a 50% refund off your child’s registration fee, if selected to coach. This refund applies to one participating child only. The refund is processed after the first game.
