North Providence Youth Basketball Association

DO NOT bring a basketball to the gym on any game night/day whether your playing or not,  this player stepped on a stray basketball that rolled on the court fracturing his foot.  Luckily that's all that happened, falling and hitting their head on the floor could have greater consequences.

 

Not bringing balls to games is for safety reasons.  It also delays the games clearing kids off the court during timeouts,  custodians now have to close the schools at 10pm.

 

If someone brings a basketball to the gym it will be taken away and given back when they leave. 

 

Any coach or official has permission to do this.
