Biddy Basketball a Blast at OLPH

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) - Sports are alive and well at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in New Albany. OLPH is just beginning their Biddy Basketball season for children grades pre-K through second.

This year with the cutbacks in local public schools sporting programs, recreational sports like Biddy Ball, have seen an increase in participants. Participants practice once a week and have games on Sunday afternoon. It is a great way to learn the value of teamwork in a fun and exciting way. All kids get a chance to play as they rotate players on the court every four minutes in four eight minute quarters.
