OCEAN CITY- The Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department next week is launching its latest youth program with the Northside Park Basketball Club, which is set to begin next Wednesday.

The Northside Park Basketball Club will be open to all girls and boys entering 5th through 8th grades. The players will be divided up appropriately based on age and/or gender and the format will be full-court five-on-five play. It is not a league, but there will be referees and scoring.

The club will run on every Wednesday throughout the summer beginning next week at Northside Park from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and it will end on August 14. The cost is $40 for residents and $50 for non-residents for the season, although drop-ins will be allowed at $10 for residents and $12 for non-residents per session.
