Hey moms! I thought this was pretty interesting. You don't often see programs for kids so young.

The Westside Recreation Center is starting "Shorty Basketball" on Monday, Nov. 24. It is a five-week program for 3- to 6-year-olds that teaches the children the basics of the game and enhances motor skills.

Registration started on Nov. 10. You can register at the Westside Recration Center, at 1001 N.W. 34th Street, between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. The cost is $43 for city residents or $64 for non-city residents.

For more information, you can call
(352)334-2821.

Thanks, Stacy.

We tried it with Dakota last year and he didn't have a long enough attention span. We only did the first class and decided he wasn't quite ready.

We may try it again this time. He seems to be more interested now. We'll see.

The same program is also located at the MLK center off of 8th Ave. for those who may live on that side of town.

The YMCA on 34th offers the same program-same cost. We signed up our 4.5 year old. They start Jan 10th. They still have spots! Games and Practice are every Saturday from 10:30-11:30.

That's great! I wish we had something similar over here! You have to wait until they are 5 to start anything! If it weren't such a drive or were on one of the days that I already come into town we would sign up for it! My son will be 3 in December so he would just miss out but my daughter is 4 going on 5.
