CAMP VERDE — The Camp Verde Parks and Recreation Department recently announced registration is now open for another season of the town’s youth Grasshopper Basketball Program, according to a news release.

The program is for boys and girls in first through fourth grade is “a fun way to learn basketball and teamwork,” a news release stated.

Co-ed teams of boys and girls, led by volunteer coaches, are grouped by grade level and practice one night per week and compete on Saturday mornings. The league is intended to allow kids to have fun, learn the fundamentals of basketball and develop teamwork.

Lower baskets are used as well as smaller sized basketballs to make the game more enjoyable and successful for the kids. The league will have an evaluation session and draft this season. The evaluation session will be hosted in the Community Center Gym on Monday, Oct. 11, starting at 5:30 p.m. for the first and second graders and coaches.
