Staff report
The Saleeby-Fisher YMCA, the East Rowan branch, has changes planned for the upcoming boys basketball season.
All Saturdays in recent years have been used for games, with practices scheduled throughout the week. This year, only the opening games will be played on Saturday, Jan. 23. Thereafter, all games will be played on Mondays and Tuesdays, with games starting at 6 p.m.
All practices will be held on Thursdays starting at 5:30 p.m. Saturdays will remain free for the first time since the YMCA opened.
Grades 2-8 are eligible. Practices began Dec. 11, and all teams will have games on Jan. 23. Registrations will be accepted through Dec. 19.
The program’s success relies on volunteers. Sign up to become a volunteer coach, assistant coach or official.
