JERSERYVILLE - Jerseyville Parks and Recreation Department (JPRD) will be holding Itty Bitty & Pee Wee Basketball again this year. Last year, there were 60 participants enrolled in the program. 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, December 4 through January 22, with no sessions being held on December 25 and January 1. 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.
