This program is for boys and girls in first or second grade. This spring program helps second graders prepare for participating as third graders in the fall youth basketball season. The program provides a framework for sportsmanship and fair play, while teaching the fundamentals of the sport. Children use junior size basketballs (27.5 inches) and 8-foot baskets. All players must attend a mandatory evaluation so that balanced teams can be created by youth sports staff. Evaluations, practices and games are held in the gymnasium at Calavera Hills Community Center, 2997 Glasgow Dr. Game play runs from mid-April to mid-June, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Typically, there is one practice and one game each week.

Volunteer coaches are needed for this program. Call 760-434-2971 or visit www.volunteerincarlsbad.net to register for volunteer opportunities citywide.
