3rd – 6th Basketball Skills Camp
\nThe deadline is approaching for the City of St. Johns Recreation Department 2011 K-2nd Biddy Basketball Program. Registrations can be picked up at City Offices or online at www.cityofsaintjohnsmi.com<\/a>.
\nDeadline to register is January 7, 2011. The registration fee for the program is $31.00 for St. Johns School district residents and $36.00 for non-school district residents. After the January 7th deadline there is a ten-dollar late fee. Registrations received after the deadline are not guaranteed to be placed on a team.
\nThe six-week program, for children in kindergarten through 2nd grade, will teach children the game of basketball. The program is meant to be a positive introduction to the game of basketball for first year players and a skill sharpening opportunity for returning players. Participants can expect to learn, from parents and volunteers, the basics of basketball in a non-competitive and safe atmosphere. An emphasis will be placed on good sportsmanship, fundamentals and having fun.
\nThe season runs on Saturdays from February 12th through March 19th.
\nKindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders will spend the first two-weeks learning the basics of basketball. The first part of each Saturday session will be used as an instructional period where the coach will spend time teaching the fundamentals of passing, dribbling and shooting. The second part of the session will be used to scrimmage against another team, where the players will be able to showcase what they have learned and work as part of a team. Beginning the third week they will scrimmage after a warm-up during each session.
\nEach participant who preregisters will receive a t-shirt, certificate, individual award and a “Big Boy MVP Award” from Big Boy Restaurant of St. Johns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
