As summer comes to a close, the Tyrone YMCA prepares fall and winter activities for area residents of all ages.
First on the list is youth basketball. Two youth basketball leagues will begin in October, with registration currently being accepted.
This year will introduce Pre-school Happy Hoops. The program is open to boys and girls ages four and five. The league will provide a fun, instructional way to introduce the game of basketball. Games are played on Saturdays at the Tyrone Area YMCA and will start on Oct. 23 and continue through Dec. 11.
Cost to join is $20 for YMCA members and $35 for non-members. Registration forms are currently being accepted and will continue to be until Oct. 10.
For boys and girls in kindergarten through second grade, there is a K-2 league. This league is designed to be a fun and instructional way to introduce and improve on basketball’s basic skills. The K-2 games are also played on Saturdays, starting on October 16 through December 18 at the Tyrone Area YMCA.
Registration for the league will be accepted through September 10. Cost for YMCA members is $25 and for non-members is $40. Coaches will meet on Tuesday, September 14 at 7 p.m. Practice for the K-2 league will begin the week of September 20.
