There is something for everyone at the J.

LITTLE ROOKIES BASKETBALL

JCC Little Rookies is a youth basketball league for boys and girls of all skill levels. Our aim is to teach the foundational skills of basketball with a focus on fundamentals and teamwork in a fun and energetic setting.  The first 4-weeks consist of drills in stations, with a keen focus on ball-handling, shooting, defense, and spacing. The remaining 6-weeks will consist of game play. Each child will be put on a team and games will be played full court. Our trained high school and college age student/coaches will teach the rules of the game, how to be a teammate, and ultimately create an environment that has the little hoopers eager to continue to play the game of basketball for years to come!  

Begins January 2025

Come join us for a clinic that centers around teaching kids’ life lessons through basketball drills and games. Everything we do is constructed to make an impact for kids both on and off the court, from developing future leaders to being great teammates. The Skills Clinic focuses on the 5 major fundamentals of basketball: shooting, passing, dribbling, rebounding, and defense. Kids will have the opportunity to learn the game through drills and stations and test their skills in competitions weekly including hot-shot, dribble knockout, free throws, 1 on 1 and 5 on 5. Whether you are a beginner to the game or are trying to improve your skills to make a team, our clinic will provide teaching to help all players improve and most importantly have fun!
