| Tykes is an introductory basketball program for boys and girls age 5-7 years old (born 2003-2005). Tykes is primarily a fun session so children become familiar with the game of basketball while learning basic skills. Some organized drills and practice scrimmages also take place to ensure the activity remains fun. Tykes "teams" are co-ed, with both boys & girls on the same team. Children are divided into groups based on age and skill. |
Little Tykes runs on Saturdays from 1:30 - 2:30 p.m. and is for children age 5 and 6.
|
Big Tykes runs on Saturdays from 2:30 - 4:00 p.m. and is for children age 6 and 7.
|
Unlike the regular program there are no scheduled practices through the week. Instead players attend a 1.5 hr session every Saturday at L'Ecole Élémentaire Jeanne - Sauvé. Saturday sessions throughout the year are:
|
Session 1: ($40.00) Oct 16 - Dec 11, 2010
|
Session 2: ($40.00) Jan 08 - Mar 05, 2011
|
Please note that Tykes is primarily an English program as we cannot guarantee French speaking coaches.
For further information on the TYKES program please contact the program convenor (TBC) or by email at g_cbasketball@yahoo.ca |
