Little Dribbler registration requested by Friday

By Sam Waller

Registration for Albany’s Little Dribblers youth basketball program is wrapping up this week.

Organizer Joe Tidwell requests that registration forms and fees be returned by Friday, Jan. 13 if possible with a final deadline of Monday, Jan. 16.

Forms are available at Nancy Smith Elementary School. Registration fee is $30 per player.

The program is open to boys and girls age 8 through fourth grade. Second graders must turn 8 by Feb. 28 to be eligible.

Tidwell said the number of teams will depend on how many players sign up. The program typically has four boys and four girls teams, but there were six girls teams last year.

Games will start Saturday, Feb. 4 and continue each Saturday through the end of the month. Games will be played at Albany High School’s auxiliary gym using nine-foot goals.

Tidwell said he is still looking for coaches to direct each team.
