The Recreation Division will host a free FIT Dribble, Dish, and Swish competition for area youth on December 21 from 12:30-2 p.m. at the Bayonne Ice Rink Gym.
The program is a free competition that provides boys and girls, ages 7-12, the opportunity to showcase their basketball skills against their peers in the New York City Tri-State Area (CT, NJ and NY).
Boys and girls compete in separate age and gender divisions (ages 7-8, 9-10 and 11-12) and are timed on their ability to complete the basketball skills course which challenges the participants to dribble, pass, and shoot accurately, as quickly as possible.
Participants have the opportunity to compete in three levels of competition, including Locals, Regionals, and All-Star Finals at NBA All-Star in New York City. The top two boys and girls in each age division from the Regional Competitions will advance to All-Star Finals for the head-to-head competition.
All participants must fill out an entry form and release of liability. Entry forms are available in the Recreation Division in City Hall Room #13. You may also register the day of the competition.
If you have any questions, please call Pete Amadeo at (201) 858-6129 or email BAYONNEREC@AOL.COM .
