Welcome!

The Sandymount Basketball program, #BAS061, is run by the Sandymount Recreation Council, Finksburg, MD, and runs from November 2006 through March 2007. This co-ed recreation basketball program provides an opportunity for nearly 200 boys and girls, grades Kindergarten through 9th grade, to learn the fundamentals of basketball while having fun. An entirely in-house program played in the Sandymount Elementary School gymnasium, our volunteers coach as many as 24 teams in five age-group divisions. Our program goals are clearly stated and begin with providing a FUN experience for our players and their families.
