BASKETBALL REGISTRATION
Welcome to Chicago Westside Police and Youth basketball! Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email or text letting you know when your child may begin attending in-person practices.
Here are the CURRENT practice locations and times:
Austin Community Family Center
501 N Central
Chicago, Il 60644
Tuesday and Thursday 4:30pm - 6:30pm
Saturday 11am-1pm
By the Hand Club for Kids
415 N Laramie

UCAN
3605 W Fillmore St.
Chicago, Illinois 60624
Tuesday and Thursday 5pm-7pm
Saturday 10am-12pm
Due to the rapidly changing environment, if you do not see a practice location near you, please contact Stephanie at smarquardt@cityofrefugechicago.org . We hope to have additional practice sites in Garfield Park and North Austin very soon.
During the high energy training sessions, a qualified instructor will lead the athletes in stretches, cardio conditioning and basketball drills. There will also be discussion about health, nutrition, and current events based on Allan Houston's mentoring program FISLL.
Due to the extremely limited number of spots per team that will be available, each player will first be evaluated on previous virtual training attendance. After those spots have been secured, it will be first-come, first served.
A condensed game schedule will begin as soon as we get clearance with the season extending through mid-April. At the first in-person training, each player will be issued a personalized equipment bag containing masks, hand sanitizer, and all equipment they will need, including their own basketball. Any shared equipment will be sanitized before, during, and after practice. Basketballs and other issued equipment will be taken home after each practice to prevent equipment sharing. All possible safety measures including, social distancing and limited number of players per square foot of court space will be monitored. Coaches have been instructed to include drills and conditioning that keep participants spread out.
If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie at smarquardt@cityofrefugechicago.org .
Looking forward to a great season!
