WE CAN'T STOP MAKING THE HOOPS!!!!
The NT Rec. Dept. basketball program features six different leagues playing on three different days. Our program is a great opportunity for your child to get a full basketball experience (from beginner to more advanced).
We offer a series of preseason clinics to prep your child for league games. Following the clinics, participants will be assigned coaches and teams (clinics are also used to assess each child's current skill level to ensure team assignments are equal and games are competitive). Once teams are assigned, players will receive a schedule, jersey, and will be ready to hit the ground running!
Each team will have a practice with their coach before the regular season. From there on out, teams will play games each week, complete with referees, scorekeepers, and statisticians. We engage the crowd with our upbeat announcing over the PA system and update our website each week with complete game write-ups, updated standings, and "Player of the Week" honors.
Our goal is for our participants to learn and practice basketball in a fun and inviting atmosphere. Our coaches are trained to ensure EVERY player gets equal playing time, and an opportunity to be engaged in the game.
