It’s time to get ready for indoor sports, and Urbana Park District has a great program to help get kids ready for the basketball season.

Pre-Season Shooters Youth Basketball is for boys and girls in grades 3 – 6, and runs Saturdays from October 9 to November 13. Grades 3 – 4 boys and girls learn and play from 2:30 – 3:55 p.m. Grades 5 – 6 boys and girls learn and play from 4 – 5:30 p.m.

All sessions are at Brookens Gym.

Kids learn basketball fundamentals, including dribbling, passing, defense and shooting. Each session features 45-minutes of instruction, followed by scrimmages.

It costs $35 for residents and $45 for non-residents. People can call (217) 367-1544 to register or register online at urbanaparks.org.

Everyone in grades 3 – 6 are welcome to take part in Pre-Season Shooters this Fall!
