PROGRAM UPDATES:
VOLUNTEER COACH OF THE WEEK!
This week our award goes to Coach Emily who has been coaching with Del Riv Basketball in our Pre-K to 2nd Grade group since the 2021-22 season. Coach Emily consistently shows up for the mini's basketball program with kindness, patience and keeps her teams engaged at practice. We are always grateful for the volunteers we have that continue to come back and teach fundamentals to the kids in our program. We would like to sincerely say thank you for stepping up as a coach and continuing to make an impact on our youngest players. We appreciate you and your effort.
Thank you Coach Emily for stepping up to volunteer and helping us to build our basketball program!

2023-24 WINTER BASKETBALL
As we prepare for the rest of our Del Riv Basketball Season, we are working to set-up an end of the season basketball banquet for all the teams and programs that participated in the 2023-24 Winter Basketball League from grades 2 to 8. We would like to celebrate the effort and hard work of all our volunteers, coaches, and players in our program.
If you have any interest in helping us put together this banquet, please reach out to basketball commissioner Sabra Wrice at: [email protected].
Thank you!
DEL RIV NIGHT!
Come out on February 5th to watch Riverside Boys Basketball play against LEAP Academy. The Rams are coached by Carmine Cesare, who also helps coach our mini's program. Riverside High School was a major factor in helping our league get back up in running in 2021-22 by allowing us gym use on Sundays, despite a very packed schedule for their interscholastic sports teams along with all the other things the school has going on. We would love to support the program like they have supported us. You also have seen volunteers like Sophomore Cameron Brown, running the clock or keeping score at the gym over the past 2 years for Del Riv game days. Cameron is currently a starter for the boys basketball team.
We hope that you will join us in supporting the high school basketball team at RHS. The game will be at Riverside High School at 5:15 PM. More details about how to sign-up as well as ticket costs will be available soon!
LET'S PACK THE STANDS AT RHS!
BOARD MEMBERS WANTED!
We are still looking for a Treasurer for Del Riv's executive board. You will be given all the information and training necessary to help us run our program from a financial perspective. Having a financial background definitely helps! If you have any interest at all, please reach out to our Secretary Danielle Janson - [email protected]
CPR/AED CERTIFICATION CLASSES
Del Riv will be hosting a CPR/AED Certification class this spring for any and all admin, commissioners, volunteers and coaches that wish to attend. We will be working on providing you all with a date for the classes very soon, but if you have any interest at all in attending, please email us at [email protected] so you can stay up to date for when the information comes out for the classes.
