Winter basketball league for 4-8 year olds
Dribble, pass, shoot! Players have fun while learning basketball fundamentals, game strategies and fair play as a team, preparing them for future competitive play and instilling a lifelong love of the game.
Jr. NBA/WNBA League
This year we are partnering with Jr. NBA. Jr. NBA Leagues teaches youth athletes basketball fundamentals the best way we know how. Powered by the NBA and WNBA, all of our programming is professionally curated, so you know you’re getting the very best training out there. Even more, the Jr. NBA Leagues program is designed for boys and girls of all levels, providing a structured environment to learn the core values of basketball, foster their love for the game, and—best of all—have fun. To put it simply: we’re the home for youth basketball, where every kid can develop their skills on and off the court.
Game Format
Games are played 4-on-4 across the width of the court. Each game consists of two 12-minute halves with a short 2-minute halftime break. Teams will have a 30-minute practice before each game on Sundays. Every player will get the chance to play at least one half unless a team has nine players. We don’t keep score in Dinky Dunkers—no standings, wins, losses, or individual stats. The focus is all about learning, teamwork, and fun.
Dinky Dunkers (ages 4-5) + Rad Rookies (ages 6-8)

Volunteers Needed
The J’s Dinky Dunkers kids basketball league relies heavily on the generosity of our volunteer coaches. We’re looking for one or two parents per team to help facilitate practices and manage substitutions during games. You’ll have as much fun as the kids do! Learn more here. Coaches get one free registration for their child per team.
