The league, sponsored by the Department of Youth and Women's Affairs, provides structured athletic programming for children ages 8 to 16.

"Basketball teaches discipline, teamwork, and perseverance," said the program coordinator. "We're thrilled to see so many families embracing this opportunity."

Games will be held every Saturday at the Pago Pago gymnasium through April.
