The Northern Kings Junior Academy is our program for new and developing players aged 4 to 12, helping young ballers learn the FUNdamentals of the game in an active and friendly environment.
Players ages 4-6 will focus on building confidence with 3 FUNdamentals of the game in our weekly “Pass, Catch, and Shoot” classes. Hammering home these fundamentals helps beginners focus on the 3 core skills needed for basketball and other sports while building a genuine love for the game.
Players ages 7-12 will participate in our “NK Jr Academy House League”. This program is a great starting point for beginners, helpful for developing talent, and a bonus for enthusiastic players. Using a mix of skills and friendly competitive drills, we’ll turn your child’s interest in the game into a passion for the sport.
The NK Jr Academy is committed to making a positive impact in the communities we serve and in the lives of the children and families in our program. We believe that providing our youngest athletes with a solid foundation of skills, knowledge, and teamwork will foster the development of valuable life skills that can be carried forward as they GROW and MATURE.
