Bluffton Family Recreation will host fourth, fifth and sixth grade boys' and girls' youth basketball tournaments this winter, according to Amy Byers, BFR sports coordinator.
Unlike past years, BFR is unable to rent the school for additional courts, so the tournaments are reformatted with all games at BFR.
The tournament will have a two-game guarantee. There will be two 10-minute halves with the clock stopping in the last minute of each half. Shooting fouls will be a point and a shot.
Bluffton Family Recreation is taking registration for a one-day Winter STEM Camp, according to Daniel Tinch, BFR executive director.
The camp takes place Wednesday, Dec. 23, with early drop-off beginning at 7:30 a.m. at BFR.
Camp starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. Late pick-up continues until 5:30 p.m.
“The camp will explore the science of hot chocolate and – fingers crossed – snowballs,” said Tinch. And, there’s lots more winter STEM fun planned, he added.
Bluffton Family Recreation fall session 3 begins on Monday, Oct. 12, and there is still time to sign-up, according to Daniel Tinch, executive director.
