Basketball Grades PK-4
October 2, 2023
Ayer Youth Basketball Players and Parents,
As many of you may have already heard, the ASRSD High School gym was forced to be closed and it is uncertain when it can be reopened. This put our 2023-24 basketball season in jeopardy due to the high school needing to shift their teams’ games and practices to other ASRSD facilities. We have recently received a commitment from the district that at minimum we should be able to utilize the Page Hilltop gym for most weeknights and all day Saturdays. While this may throw off some of our normal scheduling, we expect to be able to offer a full basketball season for all of the Pre-K through 4th Grade divisions.
The AYB program is always in need of volunteers for coaching. At these levels in particular, an ability to deal with and relate to children is more important than specific basketball skills. Coaching guidelines are offered to help those who feel they may not possess the necessary knowledge to instruct young players. Please consider volunteering for a coaching position when filling out the registration.
We look forward to seeing everyone this fall and having another great season of basketball! If you have any questions, feel free to call Jeff Thomas at the Park Department office at 978-796-5915.
