Perry Leisure Services Youth Basketball General Information
Our Basketball program is played following the Georgia High School Association with modified changes to some age groups. Practices and games will take place at Rozar Gym for 4U and 6U Basketball.
The age groups 4U and 6U will receive a uniform and a personal end-of-season trophy from the Athletic Department. Volunteer Coaches are parents or from the surrounding community coach Leisure Programs. All Coaches must apply and have pass a Criminal Background Check.
We ask for your patience, cooperation and understanding during the basketball program in uniting the youth to teach good sportsmanship and fun. Learning is gained from a win or a loss.
