Other Volunteer Opportunities
SKYBALL also depends upon volunteers for its Board of Directors, to perform
team administrative functions, and to serve as scorekeepers and timers at
games. This community effort has resulted in a middle school basketball
program for all boys and girls who wish to participate regardless of skill
level or financial status. Volunteers are the heart and soul of our program!
Individuals interested in participating in any capacity should call the
SKYBALL message line at 503-589-9581 or
contact us.
SKYBALL is a nonprofit 501(c(3)) organization formed on February 23, 1996 to
enable any middle school boy or girl to play on a basketball team representing
their school. SKYBALL is committed to helping the youth of the Salem-Keizer
area. Partnerships with Salem-Keizer Schools and City of Salem (Department of
Community Services) supply much needed gym space for games and practices.
