JR KAWS Basketball

leagues & Divisions

Jr Kaws Basketball is operated for the charitable and educational purposes of empowering youth through basketball, to foster skills, teamwork, respect and embrace competition with integrity and sportsmanship.

Fall Season (Sept-Oct)

Start Smart Basketball teaches children (ages 3-5) the basic motor skills necessary to play organized basketball while they work one-on-one and spend quality time with their parents. The program focuses on teaching children and their parents skills in dribbling/ball handling, passing/catching, shooting and running/agility without the threat of competition or the fear of getting hurt. Held once a week for 6 weeks, and each week the exercises become increasingly more difficult as the class progresses and the children show improvement.
