as other skills and lessons that will help them succeed on and off the field. Divisions are 5-6 years, 7-8 years,
9-10 years and 11-13 years.

LITTLE TYKE FALL BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Little Tyke Basketball promises to have its biggest season yet! In its 3rd season, Little Tyke Basketball
is an in-house league for younger age groups emphasizing the fundamentals of the sport—passing, shooting
and ball-handling. Your young boys and girls will have a great introduction to the sport while learning basic
skill-development, teamwork and game situations. In addition to fundamental skills training, your youngster
will be placed on a team and play healthy competitive games with standings being kept
(Playoffs and All-Star games will take place).
Each child will be assigned a 2 hour practice time, and all games are played on Sunday afternoons/evenings.
For the first 3 weeks of the program, each participant will participate in a Skill camp to assess individual
participant’s skill levels. Participants will then be placed on teams via a Draft.
If you are interested in becoming a coach or a referee please contact Kevin Adams at 748-2005.
All participants will receive trophy/medal and t-shirt/jersey. A parent meeting will be held on
Saturday October 16 at 9am at the Recreation Center, Lower Level.
