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 DayAll participants registered for the City’s Youth Hoops program are required to attend the program’s Skills Assessment Day. This assessment will permit the players to demonstrate their skills to assist in the equal distribution of skill among the teams in the league. Participants will be asked to show their ability to dribble, shoot, rebound and run the court. Additionally, all participants will verify their UNIFORM SIZE at the skills day.
