Hey there! Since 1965, The Optimist Club of Rolla has been proudly supporting all kinds of sports. We're so excited to offer lots of fun youth sports activities throughout the year. We'd love for you to join in the fun and become a part of our wonderful community!
Boy's Basketball
One of our first exciting chapter began thanks to the wonderful support from the Rolla Athletic Department—back in 1972, we launched Optimist Basketball right in the school gym. Over the years, this program has grown tremendously and now welcomes hundreds of young participants!
We are excited to announce the boy's games will kick off in January and run all the way through February. Registration for Optimist Basketball usually opens around fall and will be open for about a month. Be sure to check out the form below for the exact dates. And the best part? It's totally free to sign up! Of course, donations are always appreciated to help us improve even more. This is a fantastic opportunity for boys in 3rd through 7th grade to have a blast! We can't wait to see the kids having a blast on the court!
