Alexandria Public Schools Community Education

We believe basketball is a platform to teach life skills and provide experiences that extend into all areas of a young person's life. We prioritize teaching the fundamental skills of the game and the qualities of a good teammate. Above all we want kids to realize their gifts they have received and empower them with some tools to reach their own potential.

TackleBar® Football is a safer approach that preserves the tradition and fundamentals of the game. There will be a parent meeting on Wednesday, August 25 at 6:30pm in the Douglas County Gym. An equipment deposit of $100 will be required at time of registration or at the parent meeting - check will NOT be cashed unless equipment is lost or damaged - non football related. Students new to Alexandria Public Schools will need to bring proof of completing 4th or 5th grade - example: report card. Teams will be selected after the completion of the coaches clinic. Practices will be held 2 times a week during the season with games on Saturdays at Alexandria Area High School Football Fields. The TackleBar system will be used in both grades for practice and games. More information about the TackleBar system and our program will be provided at the parent meeting. Each grade is limited to 80 participants, so sign up early!
