Future Hoopers

This program is for 6- and 7-year-old boys and girls, and focuses on introducing the participants to basketball and the development of basic motor skills necessary to play organized basketball, while they work one-on-one and spend quality time with their parents.

Each week the exercises become increasingly difficult as the class progresses and the children show improvement. There are no designated teams or coaches.

Class will be held at the Community Rec. Center 144 Wilson. Cost for the class is $40.00. All participants will be provided a basketball that they will keep.
