Old School Basketball League to begin at Hester Center

The Ezell Hester, Jr. Community Center, 1901 N. Seacrest Blvd., will be running an Old School Basketball League from Aug. 11 through Sept. 24.

Frank Ireland, Hester Center supervisor, said participants, age 35 and older, would be able to build endurance, muscle and burn calories in the league.

Ireland said basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world and is a fast moving game, thus the calorie burning.

He advised possible participants to check with a doctor before starting any exercise routine and be aware that this league is fast action with lots of running, jumping, pivoting and twisting.

Time will be provided for warm-ups and stretching before hitting the court.

The League is set for 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fees are $35 for residents and $44 for non-residents. Proof of residency is required at registration.

Registration takes place at Intracoastal Park Clubhouse, 2240 N. Federal Highway.
For information, call 561-742-6550.
