This initiative is set to provide local kids in grades 3-6 with an invaluable opportunity to not only spruce up their basketball skills but also to learn the ropes of teamwork and the value of sportsmanship.
According to a post from the official Cambridge, MA's X account, boys and girls in the designated age bracket have until January 2 to apply to join the league.
