My son did this the last two years (7th & 8th grade) and one of my daughters did it last year (3rd grade) and they both loved the program. You can sign up this Saturday at the first meeting but be sure to call the church for the time you need to be there (different ages come at different times I think). This is NOT a super competitive program but it will be fun and teach your child some basketball skills. The cost is very low ($12) and they meet on Saturdays (or maybe Thursday evening) at Highland Park Baptist Church (corner of Maizeland and Circle).

P.S. This program is for any child (not just homeschoolers) although there were many homeschool families involved.
