The City of Janesville is launching the Start Smart Basketball program in January, designed to introduce children aged 4 to 6 to the basics of basketball. The program focuses on skill-building in a supportive, non-competitive environment. Parents are encouraged to participate alongside their children, helping to foster a positive learning experience.
The six-week program is designed to teach foundational skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting, using age-appropriate equipment tailored for young children, according to the City's annoucement. Coaches and parents will work together to help develop motor skills, fostering a supportive environment. By involving families, the program focuses on making learning enjoyable and less focused on competition.
Parents looking to sign up their children for the Start Smart Basketball program can find registration information on the City’s official website or visit the Recreation Division office at City Hall, located at 18 N. Jackson St. The program fee is $45, and the registration deadline is January 6. For further details, the Janesville Recreation Division can be reached at (608) 755-3030.
