Jr. NBA
What is Jr. NBA?
The Jr. NBA is an entry-level basketball program which provides a fun, heathy and active learning environment for very young boys and girls. It combines fundamental basketball skills (e.g. dribbling, passing shooting) with movement skills and important life skills, such as teamwork, respect and responsibility.
This year WILBA Academy and Jr. NBA are joining forces to offer a fun, healthy, and active learning environment for young boys and girls.
This program blends fundamental basketball skills—such as dribbling, passing, and shooting—with movement development and essential life skills like teamwork, respect, and responsibility.
Developed by NBA Basketball Operations and leading experts in child development, the program aligns with Canada’s Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model, ensuring age-appropriate learning and progression.
Each participant receives:
-
A Jr. NBA-branded jersey and basketball
-
A Canada Basketball membership
-
A Basketball Québec (QC) membership with insurance
All games and activities will be played on age-appropriate equipment (lowered basketball hoops in a smaller court with age appropriate basketballs) and will be modified to promote fun and learning.
