Little Dribblers of the Touchet Valley

WAITSBURG - Eleven volunteer coaches had their hands full with almost 60 "littles" from Waitsburg, Dayton, and Prescott who joined the Little Dribblers of the Touchet Valley to practice their basketball skills.

With so many kiddos showing up at the first practice, organizer Chelsie Abel knew she needed to conduct two sessions due to the impressive attendance. Practices are on Thursdays at Preston Hall through the end of January 30.

Coaches will work with preschoolers, ages four to kindergarten, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. They will focus on basketball fundamentals through fun activities that promote coordination, teamwork, and a love for the game.

First through third-grade dribblers will hit the court from 6:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. Participants will enjoy dynamic activities, including dribbling, passing, shooting, and defense skills within an environment fostering teamwork and sportsmanship.
