NYBA PROGRAMS

Grades 1–2 Clinic

Build the basics, grow confidence and learn to be a teammate.

Learning through practice

The clinic gives first- and second-grade players an introduction to basketball fundamentals in an instructional setting. It continues the early learning pathway before recreation league play in grades 3–8.

Skills that grow with your child

• Ball handling and dribbling with control.
• Passing, catching and basic shooting technique.
• Moving on the court and understanding the game.
• Listening to instruction, sharing the ball and supporting teammates.

Progress over pressure

The goal is for children to learn and enjoy basketball in a positive environment. Encourage effort, patience and teamwork as players gain confidence and develop at their own pace.
