Basketball is one of our most popular sports in town.  It is a sport that requires skills that we develop in our youngest players and continue through the 8^th grade. The very nature of the sport includes jumping and running and use of fine motor skills in addition to the opportunities for social interaction with a child's peers; something they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.  The Recreation program is for players of all skill levels and our coaches tailor each practice and skill based on the skill level of the players they are working with.  While we encourage even the weakest players to continue to play and enjoy themselves every year, we also challenge and advance the best players to allow them to continue to grow and excel.

Volunteerism is a big part of our program here in Old Tappan.  We rely on parents to coach, operate our scoreboards and scoring books, assist in registration, operate our snack bars in the summer season and help in overall administration of our program.
