The Biddeford Recreation Department is now accepting registrations for Youth Recreation Winter Basketball program for Boys and Girls in Grades 1-6!
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.
Teams are determined by grade and gender, with three divisions offered for 1st & 2nd grade, 3rd & 4th grade, and 5th & 6th. Practice 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 4th, 2025 through February 15th, 2025. Games are typically scheduled with other regional communities including Saco, OOB and Kennebunkport/Arundel, so there will be some local travel required.
