Hotshot Basketball

    The Houlton Parks and Recreation Department will be sponsoring the MRPA Hotshot Basketball Program for girls and boys between the ages of 9-18.

    The four age divisions are: ages 9-10 years; 11-12 years; 13-15 years; and 16-18 years. Boys will compete against boys and girls will compete against girls. Age divisions are determined by a youth’s age as of March 31, 2009. Junior varsity and varsity players are eligible to participate.
    The first practice for all ages will be held on Wednesday, January 14 from 3-4 p.m. Registration fees for this program are, $10 for Houlton residents and $15 for non-Houlton residents. Registration is required. To register, call the rec by January 14 at 532-1310.
