Registration Opens for Winter Youth, Teen Sports Basketball, Volleyball Programs Available
 Registration opens on October 15 for Winter Youth and Teen Sports Programs in the City of Gaithersburg.  Winter programs are offered in basketball and volleyball, with most leagues having just one practice and one game per week, allowing youth and their families time for other activities.  Start Smart™ programs only meet one time per week.

 In addition to being available online, registration for City of Gaithersburg Winter Youth and Teen Sports Programs will also be held at Dick’s Sporting Goods Store in Washingtonian Center on Thursday, November 10 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.  Special discounts on equipment and apparel will be available for participants that evening.
