The North Bay Spartans basketball club is pleased to announce that registration is now open for its fall youth 3 on 3 basketball development program.
The program, for boys and girls born between 2010 and 2005, starts September 5th and consists of 8 weekly 1.5 hour sessions of skills training and competitive games. Gameplay is in a half court 3 on 3 format.
Club president Michael Mitchell says the program is suitable for new players and experienced rep players alike.
“The 3 on 3 formats allow for flexible team groupings each week and the kids get to play several 10-minute games each week,” stated Mitchell in a release.
“We’ve seen tremendous growth over our first 3 years from 40 participants in 2015 to 100 athletes in 2017”.
Program coordinator Sean Madigan hopes that the program can surpass 100 participants this fall,
“It is a great opportunity for kids who are interested in basketball to learn and compete,” said Madigan.
“We have excellent coaches who award prizes to deserving athletes each week.”
Registration is $125 with the Spartans offering a $25 discount for additional athletes from the same family. Registration is available online at http://northbayspartans.sportsavvy.com .
The 2005-2006 age group is nearly sold out and the younger age groups are filling quickly.
The basketball club also offers boys and girls rep teams from U10 (2010 birth year) to U19 (2000) that participate in the Ontario Basketball Association.
