From the South Orange Department of Recreation and Cultural Affairs:

The South Orange Department of Recreation & Cultural Affairs will offer this basketball program for the TryCAN Community of children, age 10 and up, on Saturday afternoons. The focus will be on skills and drills, introducing children to the fundamentals of basketball, including dribbling, passing, shooting and defense. Each player will have a peer mentor to assist and share the experience. While having fun playing basketball, your child will also improve upon fitness, socialization, taking turns, listening and working with others in a group.
