This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


Register Now for the Winter Youth Recreational Basketball Program for 2nd Graders! 
New format this season! Our very own Granby High School Varsity Basketball coach, Wally Hansen, will be running our 2nd grade program. Coach Hansen has over 21 years as a state certified high school coach! Coach Hansen will be teaching the fundamentals of the sport through fun and motivational drills. His goal is to provide a positive recreational basketball experience for all teaching individual skills, fostering teamwork and proper sportsmanlike attitudes and basic rules of the game. Coach Hansen will be striving to establish a foundation of basics for future support of the High School programs and create an opportunity for children to be with their friends and to make new friends. Each child will receive a basketball jersey which they will receive before the first Saturday session (Jan 4). Each child will need to bring their own ball (size 27.5) with their name on it each time.

The 2nd grade program will meet twice a week. There will be (1) weekday practice that the volunteer coaches will run and then on Saturdays Coach Hansen will run drills and games. We are hoping to run a separate girls and separate boys program. If we do not get enough to run separately, this will be a co-ed program. The girls time will be 10:45-11:30am and the boys 11:45am-12:30pm. If the groups are combined, then the time will be 10:45am. 

Teams will be formed and we will need volunteer coaches. These coaches will set the practice night and when you register you will be asked to let us know which is the 1 night you can't practice. Every attempt will be made to place your child on a team so there is no conflict. On Saturdays, the coaches will assist Coach Hansen. 

Practices will start the week of December 2nd. You will be notified by the coaches as soon as the teams are put together on November 20th. Please give the coaches a few days after this meeting to reach out to you with the information. Practices will be held at Kelly Lane School. 

The Saturday dates are as follows: January 4, 11, 18, 25, February 1, 8, 15, 22. A make up date will be held on March 1st if needed. Included in the price is a basketball jersey which will be handed out at the first session.
