Drop-In Youth Basketball
Looking for a fun way to stay active, develop your basketball skills, and connect with other youth in your community? Join the County of Grande Prairie for free weekly drop-in basketball at Whispering Ridge Community School.
This casual, non-competitive program is open to youth aged 17 and under and welcomes participants of all skill and experience levels. Whether you'd like to join a pickup game, work on your shot, practice ball handling, or simply shoot hoops with friends, Drop-In Youth Basketball offers a fun and welcoming environment for everyone.
Basketballs will be available for participants to use, but you're welcome to bring your own.
