ARC Youth Basketball Programs

The ARC offers two separate basketball programs: Bitty Ball for children ages 3 to 6 and Basketball for children ages 7 to 12. Both are instructional basketball programs for boys and girls. They emphasize fundamentals, good sportsmanship, participation, teamwork, and fun! To stay true to our non-competitive recreational programs, children are registered and placed into a selection pool for their respective age group and randomly assigned to a team by Alamogordo Recreation Center staff.

Practices will be held Mon/Wed, or Tue/Thu, depending on which team your child is assigned to after registration. Games will be held on Friday evenings and/or Saturdays. Parents/Guardians may request their preference for Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday practice days. However, practice day preferences are not guaranteed, but will be accommodated if possible. Participants will receive team information at the Team Meet & Greets or by calling the ARC after the Meet & Greets.
