The Sevierville Parks and Recreation Department has announced the commencement of registration for its final series of youth basketball clinics scheduled for 2026. Beginning Tuesday, October 6, interested participants can sign up for one of two age-specific programs designed for young athletes in the community. These clinics aim to provide basketball instruction and engagement for children within the Sevierville area and its surroundings. The programs represent the concluding offerings of the year from the department for youth basketball development.
Clinics are structured for two distinct age categories to ensure appropriate instruction and peer interaction. One clinic is tailored for children aged 8 to 10 years old, while a separate program is available for older youth, specifically those between 11 and 14 years old. The cost for participation in each clinic is set at $40 per individual. This fee covers all three planned sessions for the respective age group. Due to the interactive nature of the clinics and to ensure quality instruction, enrollment is strictly limited. Each age group clinic will accommodate a maximum of eight participants. Spots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, emphasizing early registration for those interested in securing a place.
The clinics are scheduled to take place on three specific dates, providing a consistent schedule over several weeks. The first session for both age groups is planned for October 21. Subsequent sessions will be held on October 28 and November 4, maintaining a weekly rhythm for the participants. Specific times have been designated for each age group to manage facility usage and optimize the learning environment. The clinic for children aged 8 to 10 years old will run from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. In contrast, the clinic for youth aged 11 to 14 years old will follow immediately after, from 6:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. This structured timing allows for focused instruction for each group.
Prospective participants have multiple convenient options for registration. Enrollment can be completed online or in person by visiting the Sevierville Community Center during operational hours. It is crucial for all interested parties to note the impending deadline for registration. The Sevierville Parks and Recreation Department has established October 20 as the final day to sign up for these clinics. Registration will close promptly on this date, and no further registrations will be accepted afterward, reinforcing the need for timely action, especially given the limited number of available spots.
