Building on the successes of adult night-time basketball programs of the last two years, the Village of Maywood announced that that it will once again host a men’s adult basketball league.    Ten teams consisting of ten players each will compete in a two-month schedule set to tip off on May 11.  All games will be played in the gymnasium of the Maywood Multi-Purpose Building, 200 S. 5th Avenue.
 
Registration is presently underway with the cutoff being May 10.  The village is seeking sponsors to underwrite costs including uniforms and referee compensation.  Individuals or businesses interested in supporting this program should contact Quinton Beasley by email at maywoodhoops@yahoo.com, or by phone at 708: 289-1833.
 
“This program is one of our tools to redirect energies and interests into positive outlets,” Mayor Henderson Yarbrough Sr. commented.  “One hundred young men in our gym competing in athletics on organized teams is much better than 100 men standing on Maywood streets with nothing but time on their hands,” the mayor asserted.
