TO: Parents of boys in grades 3-6 interested in playing basketball
FROM: Ben Gerken – Head Boys Basketball Coach at Liberty-Benton HS
We are organizing Liberty-Benton 3rd, 4th. 5th, & 6th grade basketball teams for the Fall 2015 YMCA league.
Here are some general details:
- Registration Deadline is October 4.
- Games start on Saturday, October 24 and run until Saturday, December 12.
- Cost: $60 for non-YMCA member | $30 for youth YMCA members $5 for YMCA members
- We plan to hold practices at Liberty-Benton High School or Liberty-Benton Middle School
- Most likely, we will have one weeknight practice and one Sunday afternoon practice (after 1:00pm) per week. Practice times and dates are still TBA.
- We will practice all the boys in the different age ranges at the same time (3rd & 4th Together | 5th Grade | 6th Grade), utilizing fundamental drills that are stressed throughout the Liberty-Benton Basketball Program.
- Teams will be split based on numbers of players.
- Parental involvement is KEY to a successful youth program! Please consider volunteering to coach your son’s team.
If you are interested in having your son play for the L-B teams, here is what I need you to do:
Once registered, you will receive an email giving you instruction on how to complete the registration through the YMCA.
Thanks for getting your son opportunities to get better at the game of basketball!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
