We are happy to announce that registration is officially open for basketball at ASU. We will be running two groups, one for younger kids, and one for teens and adults. Both will be Saturday mornings, with the younger group going from 0930-11, and the older group from 11-12:30. The season starts January 8th and will run for 8 weeks, ending Feb 26.
Full details at www.MikeysLeague.org/Basketball
Please note that for our athletes that are ages 4-18 and currently receiving Medicaid benefits, SNAP or WIC, we can get their registration fees all covered except for $10. That information is on the website, but feel free to reach out directly to me and I can walk you through the program. It’s a simple process that takes maybe 10-15 minutes.

Today we are celebrating long-time GCY guide, Walt Carr, for finishing his 100th GCY expedition!! Walt is the first ever GCY guide to hit this milestone, and we are so grateful to have this thoughtful and caring human as a part of our community. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of youth have been on Walt's paddle boat over the years, and we couldn't imagine GCY without him. Congrats, Uncle Walt!!

- Walt sits on the side of a paddle boat, smiling with his arms open wide.
