Junior Cowboys & Cowgirls Basketball The City of Laramie Parks & Recreation Department are teaming up with the University of Wyoming Athletics to bring an exciting youth basketball program to the Laramie community. This season will have a strong focus on fundamental training. In place of teams that practice separately and compete we will do training sessions twice a week with each gender/age group. The trainings/camps/ practices will focus on improvement in key aspects of the game. After practices we will divide into teams for scrimmages to practice the skills in game settings. The teams will be different every week to give players the opportunity to be exposed to different roles within a team. Each participant will receive a reversible jersey, UW team photo, and will have the opportunity to play on the court of the Arena Auditorium during halftime of a UW game. Registration deadline: Season runs January 4 - March 12
