Oakland Park has successful youth basketball season
From David Volz
The City of Oakland Park recently wrapped up another successful youth basketball season, which ran from March to May 2025 and brought together more than 250 young athletes, ages 7 to 17.
With separate divisions for boys and girls, the program focused on building basketball fundamentals while fostering teamwork, sportsmanship, and fun. A standout moment of the season was the exciting championship finale, hosted at St. Mark’s Episcopal School’s gymnasium. Thanks to this generous community partnership, players and their families were treated to a true game-day experience. The energy was high, the games were thrilling, and the atmosphere created unforgettable memories for all involved. Throughout the season, participants improved their athletic skills and learned valuable life lessons in communication, collaboration, and ethics through sports. Oakland Park’s Youth Basketball program continues to be a cornerstone in promoting active, healthy lifestyles for local youth.
