Garden City Basketball - Time to Register

Visit www.gardencitybasketball.org to sign-up online for the 2008-2009 season. The registration fee is still $50. Paper applications may be obtained from our website, St. Paul's-Cluett Hall, the Island Garden, and/or the village of Garden City Recreation Office.

The focus of Garden City Basketball is our intramural program. Our greater mission is to provide a wonderful experience for all of our participants so that a love of the life long game of basketball will be nurtured and grow.

Close to 600 children participated in the Garden City Basketball intramural program last season. Our program is held in the St. Paul's Field House and we offer:

* Clinics for Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade Boys & Girls

* Boys intramurals for the 3rd through the 6th grade

* Girls intramurals for the 3rd through the 7th grade

* Boys intramural "Friday Night Lights" for the 7th through the 10th grade

* Boys & Girls 3rd Grade and higher weeknight clinics

* A variety of special events

Our intramural program runs from the middle of November and through the middle of March. "Friday Night Lights - Streetball" is our Boys 7th thru 10th Grade program that is held in town on Friday Nights. All of our other programs have their games on Saturday.

The weeknight clinics held by Garden City Basketball are some of the best that you will find. The focus at our clinics is on skills, drills, development, and fun. We held at least 6 clinics for each of our 3rd grade through 7th grade participants (that's NINE hours of instruction). Our K-1-2 clinic supplied over THIRTY hours of instruction! We believe that Garden City Basketball is second to none in the quality and amount of training we fairly allocate to our participants.

Looking for clinics, camps and extra training to improve your game? Check out our website. The Island Garden, Chaminade, George Bruns, Hofstra, and Adelphi all have camps that will improve your game.
