The City of Sterling Recreation Center is currently accepting registrations for the 2010-2011 Youth Basketball Program. The program is available to boys and girls in the 2nd through 6th grades. There are separate divisions for boys and girls. Divisions of play include: 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade.
Teams will begin practicing the week after Thanksgiving at the various elementary schools in Sterling and surrounding communities. Each team in the 2nd - 5th grade divisions will practice 1 - 1 1/2 hours per week. Teams in the 6th grade division may practice twice weekly. Practice times will vary between 4:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, depending on school availability and coach’s schedules. Games
will begin Saturday January 8, 2011.
The registration fee of $30 per child includes approximately 10 practices, 6 games, and a team T-shirt. Participants are encouraged to register early, as a limited number of teams will be formed. Individuals registering late may not have their T-shirts available by the first game. The due date to register is Wednesday October 20, 2010. Registration forms
are available at the Recreation Center, 808 Elm Street; Recreation Office, upstairs at City Hall 421 N. 4th St., Sterling, Pro Sports, all RE-1 Elementary Schools, and Sterling Middle School.
