Wicomico Recreation’s Youth Basketball Takes The Court This Winter

Salisbury, MD – Wicomico Recreation is stepping onto the court this winter with the introduction of Youth Basketball. The eight week season will tip-off on January 14th and conclude with single elimination play-offs in March. The program is recruiting players and volunteer coaches.

Play is open to boys and girls of all skill levels from 5th through 8th grade. Players can register as part of a team of ten or individually to play on house created teams. Practice sessions will be held at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center in early January prior to the first game. Once the season begins, all games will be held on Saturdays at Salisbury Middle School (607 Morris Street). Scheduled games will begin at 9am and run through the early afternoon.

Potential players and/or coaches are invited to the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center on Monday, December 12th from 6pm to 8pm for a free skills clinic. The clinic will provide a review, drills and an overview of the new program. The clinic will also kick-off registration, and all those that on-site will receive a $5 discount.

The cost to play is regularly $50. The registration fee includes regular season, play-offs and t-shirt. The registration window will run from Monday, December 12th through Friday, January 6th 2012 at 5pm. Register online at www.WicomicoRecandParks.org or in person at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center Box Office (500 Glen Ave. Salisbury, MD 21804).
