Hi, My little girl is 6 years old, very competitive and wants to play basketball. Can anyone help with suggestions. I live in Addison and can go out as far as Plano to Richardson to north dallas
Carrollton Rec system has basketball for girls and boys. They have registration sometime in Sept. and Play starts in October. They provide jersey. google carrollton recreation and I believe it is under the Carrollton Athletics section.
check out the SVAA (Spring Valley Athletic Association) or a local Ymca. we're in Richardson ISD even though we live in Dallas and a lot of our community kids go thru the SVAA for sports that aren't apart of school. The SVAA has all sorts of sports to choose from.
I am not sure of an exact location in your area, but if you look up Upward basketball I am sure they would be doing a program at a church near you. You could google it, as I dont know the website address off hand. We will be using that program in our area this fall. Good luck:) ~A.~
Just to follow up on an earlier response, the website for Upward is www.upward.org. They offer soccer teams/camps at various churches. They also offer other sports. If you just go on their website, select the appropriate sport, and input your zip code several location choices will come up. You are sure to find something close to home. Another option is First Baptist Carrollton which offers it's own basketball program. I don't think they start practicing until November.
Check your YMCA. Ours has a winter and summer league. The kids have a practice once a week and a game on Saturdays. They play other teams that were formed at the same YMCA, at a local elementary school or middle school...so all is local. This is a great way to start with a young child.
Try Sportsplex on Alpha Rd. behind Valley View mall. They offer camps in various sports, as well as basketball and volleyball leagues.
