Youth Basketball |
|
|
The Milliken-Silva basketball league was begun fifty years ago by Frank Milliken and Larry Silva to give Fall River youth an opportunity to play competitive basketball in the elementary and middle-school years. Teams are organized from the 3rd to the 8th grades. The program has been co-ed until recently when, with the increased interest on the part of girls, a separate girls' league was begun.
