Club spokesman Aaron Campbell鈥� says the new season is ready to go.
But first, Campbell says the club 鈥渨ants to thank everyone that helped us in the first year鈥� the kids, teachers and parents who have dedicated all the hours this 2017. We had 70 sessions, a total of 210 hours and 3,500 kids walk through the door for free basketball in Aldergrove this year.
鈥淲e have big plans for year two in 2018 鈥� Spring, Summer and Fall Leagues for players from grade 5 to grade 12, the mini dribblers (grades 4 and 5) program and looking to start a ABC spring league for kids of Aldergrove.鈥�
