Hello Basketball Families!
We are pleased you have chosen to participate in our Basketball program this season. Although this year's sessions will certainly look different than in past years, we can assure you that our focus on SAFETY and FUN for the participants has not changed. We have studied the New York State Sports and Recreation Guidelines in order to develop new protocols for our programs. While we will highlight a few significant procedures below, we encourage you to view our Return to Rec Operational Plan for complete details and understanding along with reviewing our program information below.
Your family’s safety is our number one concern as the City works towards a return to play!

- Have you had COVID-19 symptoms in the past 14 days
- Have you had a positive COVID-19 test in the past 14 days
- Have you had close or proximate contact with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases in the past 14 days
