Jr. NBA
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.
TUESDAY EVENING - Winter 2026 Session
The fee for the Tuesday Jr. NBA program will remain $115 this year 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 winter program will run from Tuesday, January 13th to April 7th with April 14th as a snow day. There will be no Jr. NBA during March break (March 17).
The early (beginner) session will be for girls born in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and will run from 6:30 pm to 7:25 pm.
