KWGBA is continuing to partner with the NBA and Basketball Canada to provide the Jr. NBA program to the Kitchener / Waterloo area for girls ages 5 to 10. This program is targeted towards individuals who have the eagerness to learn and achieve the fundamental aspects of basketball. Most participants are being introduced to basketball for the first time or have done similar programs previously. We will offer sessions on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings at Centennial Public School at 141 Amos Ave in Waterloo:

TUESDAY EVENING

The fee for the Tuesday Jr. NBA program will be $115 for each of the fall and winter sessions. Every participant will receive a Jr. NBA pinnie and an age-appropriate basketball. The Tuesday program is 12 weeks long.

The fall program will run every Tuesday from September 24^th until December 10^th (with December 17^th as a snow day, if needed). The winter program will run from Tuesday, January 14^th to April 8^th (with April 15^th as a snow day, if needed). There will be no Jr. NBA during March break.

The early (beginner) session is for girls born in 2017, 2018 and 2019 and will run from 6:30 pm to 7:25 pm. The later (more advanced) session is for girls born in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and will run from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Girls born in 2017 have the option of attending the early or the late session depending on their skill level. Please note that the later session is expected to be faster paced although the program is always adjusted for the players in attendance.

SATURDAY MORNING

The fee for the Saturday Jr. NBA program will be $100 for each of the fall and winter sessions, as each session will only be 10 weeks long. Every participant will receive a Jr. NBA pinnie and an age-appropriate basketball.

The fall program will run every Saturday morning from September 28^th until December 7^th – skipping October 12^th for Thanksgiving weekend. December 14^th will be reserved as a snow day, if needed.

The winter program will run every Saturday morning from January 11^th to April 5^th. There will be no Jr. NBA on February 15^th for Family Day weekend and March 8^th and March 15^th for school March break.

The early (beginner) session is for girls born in 2017, 2018 and 2019 and will run from 10:00am to 10:55am. The later (more advanced) session is for girls born in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and will run from 11:00am to 12:00pm. Girls born in 2017 have the option of attending the early or the late session depending on their skill level. Please note that the later session is expected to be faster paced although the program is always adjusted for the players in attendance.
