(Ages 4-5) Our Tiny Tots Tennis & Basketball combo classes place emphasis on fundamental movement, coordination, balance, and hand-eye coordination skills. For tennis, players use smaller racquets, modified balls, and smaller courts so our youngest players can comfortably progress and enjoy the game. For basketball, we use smaller balls and lower the hoops for easier ball handling and shooting. All equipment is provided.

(Ages 4-5) For our Little Dribblers basketball classes we use smaller balls and lower the hoops for easier ball handling and shooting.

(Ages 6-7) The Dribblers Program is structured for fundamental movement skills, coordination and balance. Emphasis is on beginning dribbling, passing, shooting, defense, and rebounding skills.

(Ages 7-14) JKBB offers a variety of basketball drills for all levels. Our basketball program has skills classes, in-house league play, boys travel teams and a girl’s only program. 

(Ages 8-11) The 3 Pointers Class is a skills and drill class that works on the fundamentals of basketball. Each week there is a focus on a particular skill. At the end of the class, scrimmage is played with the emphasis on that skill.

(Ages 10-13) The Shooting Clinic provides opportunities to learn the fundamentals of proper shooting technique in an easy to understand, step by step method. Find out how to develop consistency of footwork, release & follow through. Develop "dependable hands" to catch tough passes & get your shot off quickly. Towards the end of the session the Gunn 8000 basketball shooting equipment is used to shoot 100-200 shots in a continuous motion.

(Ages 10-13) Friday Fundamental for Feeders is designed to build fundamental skills with specific drills to help prepare for local feeder programs.

Our in-house league is full court, 4 on 4, no free throw league with extra emphasis on sportsmanship and team play. John Karzen, the basketball director, will arrange teams and games and use the League Apps app to create game schedules. Sign up as a group or as individuals.

JKBB offers summer, fall/winter, and winter/spring travel opportunities for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. Teams may consist of up to 11 players. Playing time is equal until the last 2 minutes of a close game. The no-cost tryout registration is done through our website.

Our Sunday 4-6 pm (ages 8-11) and 6-8 pm (ages 11-14) Girls Only Basketball Program is run by Olga Gvozdenovic. Olga played basketball and tennis at Duke University where she was a scholarship athlete. This skill and drill class focuses on individual skills  (passing, rebounding, dribbling, etc.) with a scrimmage at the end of class incorporating lessons learned that day.

NSRC (tennis) and JKBB (basketball) are two different companies. NSRC uses Court Reserve for their registration and payment portal. JKBB uses League Apps for their registration and payment portal. We are unable to move a registrant from tennis to basketball or basketball to tennis as we do not share registration or payment portals. Please see the cancellation policy for tennis and basketball if you would like to make a change.
