YOUTH BASKETBALL SIGNUPS 2023-2024
Registrations for local youth basketball for area boys and girls in 1st through 6th grades will be held at Eason Hall in Westfield on Tuesday, October 17th & Wednesday, October 18th from 6:00-8:00 p.m., as well as Saturday, October 28th from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. There will also be a signup on Tuesday, October 24th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Country Fair in Brocton. This program is open to residents of any village/town/city.
Those who participated last season, will receive a mailing by October 16th and can sign up as they soon as they receive their mailing by signing up either at the Village Window at Eason Hall (open 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. on weekdays) or by mailing in the form & money to us at 23 Elm St., Westfield, NY 14787. Everyone else can sign up in these two ways, starting on Monday, October 16th.
There will be three different grade groups: 1st & 2nd grades, 3rd & 4th grades, and 5th & 6th grades. The 1st & 2nd grades will be co-ed and the older groups will be separated boys and girls. The 1st & 2nd grades group will be run as a clinic with a focus on building skills and fundamentals. The older grade groups will start together as clinics/skill assessments, and eventually form into their own teams who will play each other. We also plan on mixing with the Chautauqua Lake program and possibly other programs for our older groups, but we are still ironing out those details. The season will start on November 4th and go through January. The 1st & 2nd grades group will just meet on Saturday mornings. The older grade groups will practice one evening a week and play most games on Saturday afternoons/evenings.
We are also exploring the possibility of having a unified program this season which would join participants with and without intellectual and/or physical disabilities on the same team. Please call/text Andrew at 716-753-6842 if you have any interest in coaching this team and/or having your child participate on a unified team.

The fee for NON-WESTFIELD RESIDENTS is $70 for the first child, $60 for the second and $50 for the third (max. of $180 per family).
