OGDENBURG -- The Ogdensburg Boys and Girls Club is now taking sign-ups for its Spring Basketball Program. The program is set to begin on April 17 and complete in early June, with most of the action taking place in the Preston C. Carlisle Youth Athletic Center at the club.
Last year over 190 boys and girls from throughout St. Lawrence County participated in the program. Leagues will consist of six games and play-offs, with an additional clinic given each week from area coaches for the Elementary League participants. Participants need to be registered as a club member for $6 a year with scholarships available.
A brief description of each league or program is as follows:
Introductory Program- for those in K-2nd grade held on Monday afternoons from 3:30-4:30 p.m. with the lower baskets being used and instruction provided by club staff. No pre- sign-ups necessary and those participating are asked to attend the first session on Monday, April 17, at 3:30 p.m.
Elementary League- for boys and girls in grades 3-5, with clinics from area coaches and players every Tuesday from 3:30-4:30 p.m. and games on either Wednesday or Thursday afternoons at 3:20 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. depending what league the player is in. First clinic will be April 18, with games either April 19 or 20.
Jr. League- for any boy in grades 6-9 that did not participate on a JV or Varsity team and any girl in grades 6-12. Games will be held on Tuesday evenings at 7:15 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. starting on April 18.
Sr. League- for any JV or Varsity player and boys in grades 10-12, with games being played on Wednesday evenings starting April 19 at 7:15 p.m. and 8:15 p.m.. Games are officiated by Section X officials.
Girls League- League action will be every Thursday evening beginning April 20, with games at 7:15 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. for girls in grade 6 and up. We have not conducted the girls league in a few years due to lack of sign-ups, so we will require at least 32 girls to conduct the program.
Interested players can sign-up at the club, email obgc@hotmail.com. (a confirmation will be sent) or by calling the club before 2:30 p.m. or after 6:00 p.m. at 315-393-1241. Schedules will be available the first week of play and rosters posted on the Ogdensburg BGC Facebook page.
