organizes baseball, softball and teeball for players 5-18. It is run entirely by volunteers and is not a Rec Center program.

Professional coaches from Jump Start Sports will run this instructional and recreational basketball program for children in kindergarten and 1st grade. Players are taught the basics of dribbling, passing, shooting, positioning, defense and rebouncing, and then apply what they have learned in fun, non-competitive games. Parents are welcome to assist in the coaching, but classes will be run by Jump Start Sports instructors. Players will be assigned to teams and each session will include a game as well as instruction.

Instruction is held Saturday afternoons, from October 9th through November 13th, from 2:30-3:30 pm or 3:30-4:30 pm, at the Brunswick Rec Center, 2627 Pearl Rd. (Each team's schedule will include both time periods.)

You may register online (right), or via paper. (A $10 processing fee applies to paper registrations.)
