The Sevierville Parks and Recreation Department has announced the commencement of registration for its final youth basketball clinics scheduled for 2026. Beginning on Tuesday, October 6, interested participants can enroll in clinics designed for two specific age categories: children aged 8 to 10 years old and youth aged 11 to 14 years old. These clinics represent the last opportunity this year for young athletes in the community to participate in structured basketball programs offered through the department.

Each clinic carries a participation fee of $40 per individual. This fee encompasses three dedicated sessions, providing a focused training experience for all registered participants. Space in these programs is intentionally limited to ensure a high-quality instructional environment. A maximum of eight participants will be accepted into each respective age group clinic. To maintain fairness and accessibility, registration will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis until all available slots are filled. Families are encouraged to register promptly due to these strict capacity limitations.

The series of clinic sessions is scheduled across three distinct dates in the fall. The first session will be held on October 21, followed by the second session on October 28, and concluding with the third and final session on November 4. These dates provide a consistent weekly schedule for participants. For the younger age group, encompassing children 8 to 10 years old, clinic activities will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Following this, the older age group, consisting of youth 11 to 14 years old, will have their sessions from 6:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. These staggered times ensure that both groups receive dedicated attention and facility access.

Registration can be completed through two convenient methods. Participants and their guardians may register online or choose to register in person at the Sevierville Community Center. It is important to note the impending deadline for all registrations. The Sevierville Parks and Recreation Department has set October 20 as the final day to sign up for these clinics. No registrations will be accepted after this date, underscoring the need for timely action.
