SPORTS PART TWO 82 REGISTER ONLINE: mycary.org Sports for girls and boys emphasize sportsmanship, skill development, participation for all players, and fun. The season begins with practices in November, and games begin in December. New players and players changing leagues in age groups 11 & up are required to attend a skills review session prior to the season. The Town's Winter Basketball program is divided into a West Zone, a Central Zone, and a South Zone. The gyms located in each of those zones can be found on the map to the right. Every age group/league will be offered in each of the three zones (Exception: Girls 13–14 and Girls 15–18 will be offered in the Central Zone only due to registration numbers.) When registering, please be sure you are using the program code that corresponds to the gym locations at which you wish to practice and play most often. In the age groups with the smallest registration numbers, leagues may be created from multiple zones, and games may take place in multiple zones. In most or all age groups, teams will have half or more of their games and all or nearly all their practices in the zone in which they registered. c Winter Basketball (age 5–18) Walk-in Locations Bond Park Community Center 150 Metro Park Dr. Hours of operation: Monday-Friday 9 a.m.–9 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m.–6 p.m.; Sunday 1–6 p.m. Herbert C.
