Winter basketball is back and promises to be more popular than ever. It sounds a long way off, but registration closes Dec. 8. League play begins in January and is offered for boys and girls in second through twelfth grade. A basketball clinic will be offered for first grade with lowered nets and smaller courts. Details of location and time are determined by age group and can be found on our website at www.moorestownrec.com

The instructors will be the Moorekids Teen Leadership Committee. There is no charge to participate, but those interested should please register by Oct. 27 so there are enough supplies.
This is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to participate in a variety of activities from ping pong and pool to game playing and pumpkin decorating. Individuals with special needs and their siblings or friends will spend their afternoon with a teen leader in a positive and fun atmosphere. Water and snacks will be provided by MooreKids.
The fall is a busy time and goes quickly, so try to carve out some enjoyment time for yourself and your family.
