Little Dribblers to register soon

By Donnie A. Lucas

Registration for Little Dribblers basketball will begin next week, with the deadline set for Wednesday, Jan. 27.

According to organizer Joe Tidwell, the program is open to both boys and girls who are eight years old by Jan. 1 and continues through the fourth grade.

Tidwell said that registration forms will be distributed through the elementary school next week. Completed forms must be signed by a parent and returned to the school office along with the $30 entry fee.

Tidwell said that he will also accept registration forms and the entry fee.

Boys and girls will play on separate teams, with one boys team and one girls teams for each grade level.

“We need to get the registration forms back by the deadline in order to have time for coaches to pick teams,” Tidwell said.

Games will be played in the auxiliary gym on the four Saturdays in February, starting on Feb. 6. The program uses nine-foot goals.

Coaches are still needed for the teams. Parents willing to volunteer should contact Tidwell.
