Kids basketball clinic

A registration clinic for a recreational youth basketball league will be held Saturday, Jan. 7, 9–10:30 a.m., at the Bryan Community Center gym. All boys and girls in grades three to six may participate.

The league is free and focuses on learning basic basketball skills and sportsmanship.

The purpose of the clinic is to assess players’ skills and assign them to teams. Coaches will then contact players’ families and let them know the time of their first meeting. League play begins Saturday, Jan. 14, and continues to March 11.

Players interested but unable to attend the clinic should call Lynn Hardman at 767-8433.
