Youth basketball deadline set soon

By Kathy Thomson

Signup is underway for local fifth and sixth grade boys and girls who want to play in the Albany Little Dribblers Association youth basketball league, according to organizer Clint Chapman.

“The deadline to sign up is Saturday, Nov. 30,” Chapman said. 

The registration fee is $35, and sign-up forms were sent home with students this week. The fee and completed paperwork should be returned to the elementary school office or given to Chapman by the Nov. 30 deadline.

The registration fee includes a team shirt.

League organizers hope to have four teams, a boys team and a girls team from each of the two grades.

The Albany teams travel around the Big Country, playing games with teams from area towns on Saturdays, beginning in January until continuing until February.

“We are hoping to practice throughout December,” Chapman said. 

The third and fourth grade Little Dribblers registration packets will be sent home with students at a later date, sometime after the Christmas break, according to Chapman.
