Registration is now being accepted for boys and girls in the first through eighth grades interested in playing in the Sunnyvale Youth Basketball League.

The league, sponsored by the City of Sunnyvale, offers a non-competitive, fun atmosphere where youngsters can become more familiar with the game of basketball. Teams will practice once a week and play one game each week from January through March.

The city is also looking for volunteer coaches for the league.
