Listen to the story

Jerseyville Parks and Recreation Department (JPRD) will be holding Itty Bitty & Pee Wee Basketball again this year. Itty Bitty Basketball is a non-competitive skill development program that consists of small group
rotations through skill stations for three and four year olds. Stations include passing, shooting, dribbling and rebounding. The program meets once per week for six weeks for 45 minutes. The session runs from Sunday, November 16 through December 21. On the sixth and final week, participants will be divided and scrimmage an entire game. There are three times to choose from: 12-12:45pm, 1-1:45pm or 2-2:45pm. The success of this program is dependent upon parent's participation as volunteer station leaders,
therefore all parents/guardians are expected to volunteer at least one week. Program fee is $30 per toddler and includes a participation medal that your toddler will cherish.
