The Family YMCA’s upcoming basketball season has some exciting news for players! Dr. Bill Nichols from Los Alamos Children’s Dentistry donated money toward the program that will help purchase 150 new basketballs for the youth, new pinnies, cones and coach’s bags. The Y would like to thank Nichols.
The Y also is working with Los Alamos Public Schools and has reserved practice space at Aspen, Barranca, Chamisa and Pinon through November and December. Games will start in January and go through February, 1-5 p.m. Saturdays.
