Wells Parks & Recreation will be running travel basketball programs this season for boys and girls in grades 3/4 & 5/6.
This is a competitive program, where teams will compete in the Southern Maine Hoops League, against other town’s teams, all games will be played in Saco or South Portland. Tryouts will be done to choose players; only 10-12 players per team, some players may be cut.
3/4 team note: Other town’s teams are usually made up of all older players; even though we offer this as an option for 3rd graders, most teams are made up of mostly 4th graders with a few 3rd graders. 3/4 teams shoot at a 10’ hoop using a women’s size basketball. Most 3rd graders are just learning and getting strong enough for the high hoops and larger ball.
*Youth basketball for grades 1-5 will be offered starting in November. This is a learn to play, everyone makes a team program. Teams practice once a week at either 4:00-5:00pm or 5:00-6:00pm, game are played at home each Saturday against other Wells teams. Look for more information on our website, emails, and flyers soon.
