WESTFIELD REC. DEPT. YOUTH BASKETBALL SIGNUPS
Registrations for local youth basketball for area boys and girls in 1st through 6th grades will be held at Eason Hall in Westfield on Wednesday October 15th, Thursday, October 23rd & Monday, October 27th, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. There will also be signups on Wednesday, October 22nd from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Country Fair in Brocton. This program is open to residents of Westfield, Brocton, Ripley, and any other town that do not have youth basketball programs. This program will be run by the Westfield Recreation Department. Practices will all be in Westfield. Most games will be in Westfield.
Those who participated last season, will receive an email with this season’s registration form by October 15th and can sign up as they soon as they receive the form by signing up either at the Village Window at Eason Hall (open 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on weekdays) or by mailing in the form & money to us at 23 Elm St., Westfield, NY 14787. Everyone else can sign up in these two ways, starting on Wednesday, October 15th.
There will be three different grade groups: 1st & 2nd grades, 3rd & 4th grades, and 5th & 6th grades. The 1st & 2nd grades will be co-ed, and the older groups will be separated from boys and girls. The 1st & 2nd grades group will be a clinic with a focus on building skills and fundamentals. The older grade groups will start together as clinics/skill assessments and then form into their own teams who will play each other and possibly play teams from other towns. The season will start on Saturday, November 1st and go through Saturday, January 31st. The 1st & 2nd grades group will just meet on Saturday mornings. The older grade groups will practice one evening a week and play most games on Saturday afternoons/evenings with some possible weeknight games.
We are very much still looking for individuals at all grade levels who are willing to coach. Coaches will be responsible for communicating with their teams, running practices and coaching their teams at games (for the older grade levels). Coaches will be required to sign and follow our youth sports coaching contract and conduct themselves to the standards listed on the contract. Please call/text Andrew at 716-753-6842 if you would be willing to coach or assist this season. We would greatly appreciate it!
