Special Needs Basketball Now Open for Registration!

Special Needs Basketball Now Open for Registration!

We will begin our 2023-24 season of CoEd Special Needs Basketball on Sunday January 8th at 10am (note start time).  Our games will be held most Sundays from January 7th through March 8th, 2024.  We will try to have sessions as many Sundays as possible, however there are some situations where the court may not be available.

In order to ensure the safety and care of all players, we ask that a responsible adult remains at the gym throughout the session, we cannot allow drop offs. We hope you understand.  

Sessions will consist of:

• Calisthenics ~10 minutes
• Basketball Drills ~15 minutes
• Hydration Breaks, Split into Teams ~5 minutes
• Live Scrimmages, play ~30 minutes

The gym can be separated into two courts, allowing us to separate the players by age. We have the opportunity to lower baskets ensuring everyone can be successful.  The entrance to the gym is on the ground floor and is accessible.  

Manito Elementary School
111 Manito Ave

Time: 10am – 11am.  Gym is available 9:30-11:30 if you want to come early and shoot around.

Please ensure your registration and payment are completed in advance of opening day.  Please reach out with any questions.

Our program cannot run without volunteers!  Please let us know if you have recommendations of any high school or college students in the area who would like to volunteer.  It is a rewarding experience and great for college applications!

Looking forward to a great season!  Please feel free to spread the word to friends and classmates.  Everyone is welcome. Everyone is successful.
