Youth Basketball

Early Registration Discount: $5.00

Youth Basketball is open to children in grades K - 6 who either reside in Truro or attend Truro Central School. Players from neighboring towns may be combined, with approval from the department.

Parents, Coaches, and children alike are reminded that Truro Recreation encourages the development of skills, teamwork, and social bonds. The goals of Youth Sports are to provide children an opportunity to play, exercise, and learn sportsmanship in a fun way. Any child, parent, coach, or spectator who acts in ways that prohibit these goals, threaten the physical or emotional safety and development of children, referees, or coaches, will be unable to attend the program.

Fees:

$20.00 per child.  MasterCard / Visa accepted. If you are paying by cash or check you will need to contact Truro Recreation to register. $5.00 discount for early registration.

Combined Teams:

Truro Recreation will make every attempt to create a team of Truro players that will practice and play games in Truro, but due to a lack of coaches and/or players  we may be required to combine with neighboring towns. In the event that Truro Recreation combines with neighboring towns the result may be Truro players attached to other towns and practicing and playing games in that town. A combination team may also require that Truro teams have players from other towns.
