Universal Athletics

One advantage that sports-minded residents of Southwest Montana have over many other areas is the accessibility and variety of youth sports leagues, activities and programs that are available to their children. One such program is starting up its 11th year of activity with the appropriate motto of "start 'em young, raise 'em right". I am talking about the incredible Lil Dribbler Basketball League which will be firing up this Saturday morning. And boy, do they start 'em young.

Lil' Dribblers is for kids up to 7 years of age, although they are willing to fudge a little bit on the age restrictions, and the program is more of an open-gym than a basketball league. The kids play at their own pace, whatever the pace may be, and learn as much about teamwork and friendship as they do about basketball fundamentals.
