Milton Starts Its Summer Basketball Program Next Week

Do you have game? A city of Milton summer basketball league could help you with that.

Registration is still open for the city and Up with Kids Sports (UWKS) summer basketball league, which begins practices next week.

The city's first co-ed development summer league is for children ages 8 to 13. It will last from June 27 to July 30, with games starting July 7.

The discounted cost for Milton residents is $115, which includes uniform. The league fee for all others is $172.50.

All games and practices will take place at Hopewell Middle School thanks to an agreement between Fulton County Schools and the City of Milton. This will also be home to a future winter league and clinics to be offered throughout the year.

Parents of children in kindergarten through eighth grade can sign up for the league by clicking here. Choose “City of Milton - UWKS Co-ed Summer League,” download the registration form and mail it with payment to:
