The Biddeford Recreation Department is now accepting registrations for Youth Recreation Winter Basketball program!
Our goal is to provide Biddeford youth with a positive, enthusiastic and team-oriented approach to developing skills, knowledge and values needed to play the game of basketball. This program is geared towards teaching basketball fundamentals with an emphasis on good sportsmanship, fun, and fostering young players' physical, mental, and social-emotional growth.
Pre-Kindergarten Basketball is open to participants ages 4&5. Kinder Hoops is a coed basketball program open to kindergarten-aged students. In both divisions, children will be taught the basic skills needed to be successful on the court, while also developing fine motor skills and building on teamwork. During this program, participants will have the opportunity to work on handling, passing, and shooting a basketball, and enjoy learning skills and playing basketball through imaginative games. Each session format will include skills and drills and end with mini basketball games.
Grades 1-6 Divisions: Teams are determined by grade and gender, with three divisions offered for 1st & 2nd grade, 3rd & 4th grade, and 5th & 6th. Practice will begin in November 2025; times and days will depend on the number of teams and gym availability. Games will be held on Saturday's varying in times, beginning January 10th, 2026 through February 14th, 2026. Games are typically scheduled with other regional communities including Saco, OOB and Kennebunkport/Arundel, so there will be some local travel required.
Registration is open through Thursday, November 13th for Grades 1-6 (November 27th for PreK and Kinder). Registrations received after this date for Grades 1-6 will be subject to a $5.00 late fee for teams that have seats available. Don't wait to sign up!
