CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa (January 18, 2008) -- Marine Corps Community Services Semper Fit Youth Sports Program provides children ages 5-18 the opportunity to compete on Okinawa.

The program offers a variety of sports throughout the year, including baseball, softball, basketball, cheerleading and soccer. Each sport has a registration period one to two months before the season begins, and seasons usually last about three months.

The Youth Sports basketball season began in December and ends in March.

Each week, several games take place at the Camp Foster Field House, where the basketball program comes to life. Parents pack bleachers, cheerleaders pump up the crowd and coaches yell out plays as the children compete.

The squeak of shoes, a referee's whistle and the blare of the buzzer all combine with laughter and cheers to make up the gameday atmosphere.
