Who else is ready to trade in freezing nights at the baseball, football, and soccer fields for a climate controlled gym? If you are among the frozen, we have good news: basketball season is upon us! Reno doesn’t have a ton of youth basketball programs, but the ones we have are large and fantastic. We have you covered with Sierra Nevada Basketball, Northern Nevada Sports and Recreation, and the Boys and Girls Club of Truckee Meadows.
