Youth Basketball Coaches Needed! The City of Tracy is once again very pleased to offer their Youth Hoops program for a very reasonable fee. One of the reasons that the City is able to offer a very successful and exceptional program at this low fee is due to the commitment of the community in supporting the league. The greatest opportunity to support the program is through volunteering as a coach in one of the age divisions. Not only does volunteering for the program assist with this program, it offers you the chance to make a difference in the lives of our local youth. Research has shown that participants in recreation programs such as the City’s Youth Hoops league stay in school longer, have fewer problems with the law and become better citizens. We encourage you to consider this opportunity to give back to your community. Coach’s commitment is only two hours per week, one for practice and one for games when the season starts. No experience is necessary as the City provides free coaches training for all volunteers. To volunteer or for further information, please call (209) 831-6200.
Youth Hoops Players’ Skills Assessment Day

Tai Chi for Energy
This program is comprised of two different styles of Tai Chi. Chen style is very vigorous and complex, combining fast and slow movements with powerful spiritual force. Sun style incorporates unique qigong (life energy) movements with agile
stepping. These two seemingly contrasting styles have complementary internal energy. The combined movements from Chen and Sun styles produce a powerful synergy.
