JOHNSTOWN -- Fundamentals and sportsmanship are the main focus in the Johnstown Youth Athletic Association basketball league.
There are more than 110 boys and girls in grades three through six who play on Sundays. The third- and fourth-graders plays in the Junior Division at Adams Middle School and the fifth- and sixth-graders are in the Senior Division and play at Johnstown High School. The Junior Division's four teams play a 10-game schedule against each other and a season-ending tournament.
The Senior Division's teams play against each other and Northridge teams before a season-ending tournament.
There also is a Mini Division for first- and second-graders
"Our hope is to start a county league so the kids can play against different competition," JYAA Basketball Commissioner Amy Ramey said. "That way, they are not always playing against their classmates. We want to make it more competitive, but at the same time, we want to make sure they are learning."
