And speaking of Wyatt Community Center…
Starting Friday, Feb 13th — Free Basketball Skill Clinic
Butch Leftwich and Marcel Hawthorne at the Wyatt Community Center on Colville St in North Chattanooga, will be leading a BEGINNER basketball skills development series (SKILLS DRILLS) for kids aged 7-9 starting on February 13 and running weekly until March 6, 2026.
Program to run for 4 weeks, on Friday nights from February 13-March 6, from 5:30-7pm. Sign-ups start at 5:15pm each night.
This is targeted at coed beginners from ages 7-9. Maximum we can handle is 40 kids.
This will be a drop off program, although we encourage parents to stay and watch the skill drills.
There will be a sign up sheet for each night with your child's name, age, parent's name, phone number, and any medical information the coaches would need to be aware of.
Pickleball Lessons
The Wyatt Community Center director, Butch Leftwich, is leading Pickleball lessons and skill development drills for beginners M, W, and F each week from 1:30-3. Drop in - no reservation required. Participants to bring a paddle and some balls. Free to all!
Snacks for After School
The community center has become a spot that many kids head to play pick up basketball, soccer and more to as soon as they finish school in the afternoons. If you’re driving, be on the lookout for them as they walk from Normal Park along Forest Avenue on their way to Colville. Also, Butch and Marcel like to be able to provide snacks, so if you can drop gatorades or snacks by, they would be appreciated!
