Junior Pro Basketball

For six weeks starting in January each year, students from Kindergarten through high school are given the opportunity to play in our Junior Pro Basketball League. Kids are divided into teams according to their age and ability, and the teams are coached by community members who volunteer their time. Each child receives a team t-shirt, and each is awarded a trophy for participation. In 2009, about 127 children participated in this program.

T-Ball and Softball

The Henderson Settlement T-Ball and Softball program works much the same way as the Junior Pro Basketball—kids are divided into teams according to their age and ability, and they play games once a week for six weeks. Each child receives a team t-shirt. In the spring of 2009, 62 students participated in this program.

Summer Recreation

The Summer Recreation program is a six-week-long day camp that takes place at Henderson Settlement. During the five hours that the students are here each day, they receive two meals and a snack, participate in devotions, and play sports and games. There is also a literacy time each day, and the kids are taken on field trips. Summer Rec is open to students from Kindergarten through high school.

Open Gym

One night each week, the Settlement’s gym is open to the public for two hours. Most people who take advantage of the open gym use it to play basketball. On average, 25-30 people use the gym each week.
