The basketball season consists of eight games, running from January 2 through February 8. There are weeknight games and possible Saturday morning games. And while it’s too late to register your youth for the 2024 season, check with the City of Plant City Parks and Recreation in the Fall to get your basketball star registered for the 2025 season.
Sadye Gibbs Martin Community Center opened on August 17th, 2020, and it’s exciting to have more recreational leagues in the city. The 30,000-square-foot multipurpose building with two full-sized basketball courts, replaced the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center, which was originally built in 1960.
Also, on January 20 at 9:00AM, the Sadye Gibbs Martin Community Center is hosting a Tri-Star competition for all youth teams and ages. It’s a three-part contest that consists of dribbling, passing, and shooting. Boys and girls compete separately in single age groups. This means there will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards in each age group, with a chance at 36 possible winners. Lastly, the team with the most players in attendance will win a pizza party hosted at the Community Center.
