Montpelier Youth Sports

Youth Basketball Registration - Opens Monday, Oct. 2

It is time once again to sign up for winter sports, and the Montpelier Recreation Department is accepting registration for PK-6 Youth Basketball. This volunteer-run youth basketball program is an opportunity for 5- to 12-year-old (K-6th Grade) to build self-esteem and have fun in a cooperative play environment. This program is open to players of all abilities. Participants will learn the basic skills: dribbling, passing, shooting, offense & defense, to use them in game like situations.

Deadline to sign up is November 3rd @ 5:00pm. It is important to register before the deadline so we can properly schedule for the correct number of teams. Having the correct number of players per team ensures playing time for all players.
