Youth basketball signups for Jefferson County through the ROOTS program are underway but closing soon. Registration ends Dec. 13 at midnight, and players can be registered online at JCroots.org.
The ROOTS youth basketball program, according to its website, endeavors to teach fundamentals like passing, shooting and defense while encouraging hustle and teamwork.
“Whether players dream of hitting a buzzer-beater or just want to have fun on the court, our program helps them grow their skills, confidence and love for the game. Our goal is to create a positive, encouraging environment where every child can grow, improve and enjoy the game.”
There will be four divisions: pre-K to kindergarten, first and second grade, third and fourth grade, and fifth and sixth grade.
The ROOTS youth basketball season will run from Jan. 12 through Feb. 21.
The cost to register, no matter what the division, is $60.
