Girls and boys in Grades 2-6 are eligible to take part in this instructional basketball program. Players will be separated into 2 divisions, consisting of both girls and boys on the same team, to promote balanced competition and equal play opportunity.

The regular season starts Jan. 7, with Division 2 (Grades 4-6) games at 9:30, 10:40 and 11:50 a.m., and Division 1 (Grades 2-3) games at 1:00 and 2:10 p.m.

The program continues through Feb. 18 followed by playoffs.

A standard registration fee of $20 is charged to all players and a $5 non-resident fee is levied to those participants whose parents do not pay property taxes to the Town of Farmington.

A scholarship, named in memory of the 1990 Boys Basketball Travel Team Coach Alex Strozier, will be continued this year. Two dollars from every Junior Pro registration fee will be devoted to the scholarship. The sum, anticipated to be in the vicinity of $250, will be awarded to a deserving volunteer coach in this program.
