Many local sports and recreation programs are kicking off this fall and Martensville basketball season is one of them, with Spuds (Gr. 3-4) beginning October 13th. Martensville’s own Mini Dunkers program for K-Gr.2 begins October 18th, with Mini (Gr. 5-6) and Bantam (Gr. 7-8) starting October 21st. The Junior (Gr. 9-10) and Senior (Gr. 11-12) leagues will begin in December. There are currently 14 teams registered in the Mini Dunkers and SMBA programs.
“Basketball continues to grow in Martensville and we are very excited to be offering more opportunities for kids in and around our community. We are planning to hold our second annual tournament on January 5 & 6 again expanding it to host both Mini and Bantam age players,” Angie Reddekopp, City of Martensville Recreation Program Supervisor, stated.
This weekend, the Martensville Thunder, a newly organized Club team for U13, hosted two exhibition games at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP) against two Saskatoon teams. Reddekopp noted that this team will continue to practice through the winter and attend tournaments in the spring.
The City of Martensville is also offering a Drop-In Adult (16+) Basketball Program on Monday nights from 8pm-10pm at Lake Vista/Holy Mary school.
