About This Activity
**First date is a Saturday** The Jr. NBA Hi-Five Hoops Program is dedicated to helping young athletes enhance their basketball skills in a fun and supportive environment. Through our philosophy of positive reinforcement, players are encouraged to enjoy the game while learning essential techniques and fundamentals. Each week, participants are introduced to skills while continuing to strengthen those previously taught, ensuring steady progress. The program also emphasizes the values of responsibility, sportsmanship, and teamwork. By using age-appropriate basketballs, court sizes, and basket heights, we promote proper form and mechanics in ball handling and shooting, setting athletes up for long-term success. All players participate in our clinics, learning the fundamentals of the game at age-appropriate levels. We focus on building skills through drills, teaching stations and game play, with concentration on stationary & full court ball handling and team stations in passing, rebounding, shooting, defense and offense. During the clinic period, coaches will evaluate players and select teams with an eye on team parity. The 10-week session will be multi-faceted: The first two (2) weeks of the session will be SKILLS CLINICS, TEAM SCRIMMAGES & EVALUATIONS. Players are learning and working on the fundamentals of the game at age-appropriate levels. The next facet is LEAGUE PLAY, in which each player is put on a team. Each team is assigned a coach for the whole season. To cap it all off, teams will compete in a two-day double elimination tournament the weekend of December 6-7th. Each week, players will participate in a 30-minute group clinic followed by a 15-minute team practice followed by a 4-quarter game. The games are professionally refereed, with every player receiving equal playing time.
