Have you been looking for a Awesome game of neighborhood basketball? Join the Lafayette Legends Basketball League.
|
We are looking for adult men and women who love to play basketball to join our league. Several teams will be formed by draft and play on Friday evenings from 7:30pm to 9:30pm starting in early January through the winter at the Lafayette gym. Registration forms are located in the Lafayette school front office and attached to this document (see registration document in lower section). Please feel free to complete the form and mail to the address indicated or leave it with a office staff member attention Bob Johnson. We will have a meet and greet open gym for players to meet and then teams will be drafted. This is meant to be a fun community event and a way to stay in shape through fellowship. It's free but will probably have a small suggested donation for each player to help cover for referee, t-shirt, trophy and building use fees. Please feel free free to contact me if you any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for supporting Lafayette community activities.
