Youth Basketball
The Montrose Recreation District offers a variety of basketball programs for youth of all ages and skill levels, from kindergarten through high school. Whether your child is picking up a basketball for the first time or looking to continue playing with friends, our clinics, recreational leagues, and intramural opportunities provide a place for everyone. Our programs focus on skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship, and creating positive experiences that encourage a lifelong love of the game.
This introductory basketball clinic helps young athletes develop fundamental skills in a fun, supportive environment. Participants will use 8-foot hoops and smaller basketballs to build confidence while learning the basics of the game. The first three sessions focus on skill development, followed by a game day during the final session.
