1st/2nd Grade Girls Basketball DivisionWe are implementing a resident/non-resident fee for all of our youth sports programs. If you are within Covington city limits or believe you are you must verify your residency HERE to be approved for the resident activity fee.
Our winter youth basketball league is geared toward providing an opportunity for recreational basketball players to sharpen their skills and broaden their knowledge of basketball with an emphasis on fun, participation, and sportsmanship. This division is for our first-time and returning players that want to learn the fundamentals and further advance their shooting, dribbling, and passing skills. Sportsmanship and teamwork will also be strongly encouraged.
