The Yuma Heat youth traveling basketball club has received so much increased interest that it is expanding with three more teams that will include a girls team.

Boys and girls age 10-16 can tryout at Yuma High: May 16 at 6 p.m., May 17 at 10 p.m. and May 18 at 1 p.m.

Club organizer Ricky Barnes said he has received so much additional interest from potential kids and coaches that he is going to double the program

"We are looking for some of the best talent in Yuma, to travel once a month out of town to play games," Barnes said.

Additionally, Barnes is organizing a local tournament June 21 that can be held at Yuma High or Arizona Western College. He said 16 teams have already committed to the inaugural one day tourney from El Centro and Phoenix.

Barnes said that as they expand, they will have a need for more sponsors as well as players and coaches. He can be reached at 928-941-1574 or ricky.barnes@roadrunner.com
