Upcoming Lancaster County School Board of Trustees Meeting
Dream Team basketball is a Lancaster County Parks & Rec FREE adaptive basketball league for individuals who have special needs aged 5-21. The deadline to sign up is Monday, December 16!
Click HERE to register: https://lcpr.recdesk.com/Community/Program/Detail?programId=2439
The goal of this league is to allow athletes who may not typically have a chance to play organized basketball, the chance to do so. The age cutoff date for this league is the first day of the season, Saturday, January 11th. Each player will receive a Dream Team shirt and black basketball shorts. Each player is required to have their Dream Team shirt on in order to play in the game for that day. If they do not have their shirt and we have an extra shirt available, each participant will get a shirt for free the first time. After this, participants will have to pay for a shirt. Reordering uniforms due to incorrect sizing may require an additional fee.
Games will begin on Saturday, January 11th, and the season will include six games. LCPR will provide basketballs for participants to use during games. Parents and other groups (beta club, NHS, local youth groups, etc.) will help out to volunteer at the games.
