Spring is here and it is time for Inner City Development’s Spring League Basketball. The first game will be hosted on Saturday March 28 and there is still time for little ones to get registered and get ready.

Registration and Skills Practice Camp will be hosted this Saturday from 11 a.m to 1 p.m at  the Inner City Basketball Court at 1500 Vera Cruz (along Trinity St.). The next registration and skills practice camp will occur on Saturday, March 21.  Interested and registered participants can get introduced to the fundamentals of playing basketball ahead of the first game.

The program is free to all attendees and has traditionally hosted about 100 kids each year. The Program  is composed of Volunteer Coaches, referees and scorekeepers who are looking to add more volunteers to their team as the games almost begin.

Interested Volunteers can visit registration and skills practice camp to meet the team or call the organization at (210) 224-7239 for more information.

Inner City Development will celebrate 52 years of dedicated service later this year. You can support their programming by visiting https://www.innercitydevelopment.org/get_involved.
