Members of the new Visalia team in the Granny Basketball League were busy recruiting at the Visalia Senior Center on October 23.
The new Granny Basketball League team in Visalia now has a name, Visalia Taking Shots.
The team held a scrimmage game on October 26 with players from the California Poppies team from Sonora. A practice session was held the day before.
The league is a non-profit organization founded in Iowa in 2005, explained Granny Basketball League Director Michele Clark. "It is a game inspired by the way women used to play a century ago, and it's a gentler form of the game, which is just perfect for ladies age 50 or more."
Granny Basketball rules include no running (but "hurrying" is allowed), no jumping, two dribbles and no physical contact at any time.
