Vicksburg Police Department said on Facebook that it will run a Summer Youth Streetball Program from June 9 to July 17 to give children and teenagers a safe, positive place to stay active and build skills.
The program will operate Tuesday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Registration opens May 4 at the Vicksburg Police Department. The fee is $25 per child and $10 for each additional child, the department said.
The department described the program as more than basketball, emphasizing mentorship, teamwork and community engagement. Vicksburg is a city on the Mississippi River in western Mississippi, and the police department has in recent years promoted community-focused activities to connect officers with residents, the post said.
For registration information, contact Danielle Williams at 601-218-1766 or 601-801-5311, and Katina Cooper at 601-801-5320, the department said. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
